Subject: ext4: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately
From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext4_sb_info is 17664 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators.  The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.

To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately.  This shinks down struct ext4_sb_info
enough to fit a 2 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 2 KB instead of
32 KB saving 14 KB of memory.
