ext4: fix the mount option "init_itable=n" to work as expected for n=0
For some reason, when we set the mount option "init_itable=0" it
behaves as we would set init_itable=20 which is not right at all.
Basically when we set it to zero we are saying to lazyinit thread not
to wait between zeroing the inode table (except of cond_resched()) so
this commit fixes that and removes the unnecessary condition. The 'n'
should be also properly used on remount.
When the n is not set at all, it means that the default miltiplier
EXT4_DEF_LI_WAIT_MULT is set instead.
