The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the
filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is
replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for
flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is
disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account
each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether
or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg.
The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block
group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory
blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for
speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look
like this:
