ext4: Use inode preallocation with -o noextents
When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based
files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old
block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned
off when mballoc is turned on.
However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/
non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance
regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation
to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload.
This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation
for non extent files when mballoc is used.
