The function, ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations(), works alone as
hard as possible without correct understanding its caller's good thinking.
With more understanding the work, the caller should be responsible for
the mission.
And the callee just does the correct, then feeds back, like chip.
Then both get relieved.
