Currently in when getting the block group number for a particular block
in ext4_block_in_group() we're using ext4_get_group_no_and_offset()
which uses do_div() to get the block group and the remainer which is
offset within the group.
We don't need all of that in ext4_block_in_group() as we only need to
figure out the group number.
This commit changes ext4_block_in_group() to calculate group number
directly. This shows as a big improvement with regards to cpu
utilization. Measuring fallocate -l 15T on fresh file system with perf
showed that 23% of cpu time was spend in the
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(). With this change it completely
disappears from the list only bumping the occurrence of
ext4_init_block_bitmap() which is the biggest user of
ext4_block_in_group() by 4%. As the result of this change on my system
the fallocate call was approx. 10% faster.
However since there is '-g' option in mkfs which allow us setting
different groups size (mostly for developers) I've introduced new per
file system flag whether we have a standard block group size or not. The
flag is used to determine whether we can use the bit shift optimization
or not.

v2: Add sbi flag if there is standard group size
v3: Use test_opt2/set_opt2
