For some reason, when we set 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.
