I found a bug in my third patch, where I try to optimize linear search.
I missed the fact, that ext4_ext_binsearch() searches for the closest
extent from the left, but this linear search code does search for closest
extent from the right.

I ran the 'kvm-xfstests.sh -c 4k -g auto' against b25ead75e7b6 4.10-rc2
with and without my changes.  No failures.

1k configuration was run against latest Linus's mainline.  Also no
regressions were found: these two "generic/270, generic/273" fail
regardless my changes.

I will resend the patchset without latest patch shortly.
