Only call trace of ext4_mb_check_limits is as following:
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group
ext4_mb_measure_extent
ext4_mb_check_limits(ac, e4b, 0);
ext4_mb_check_limits(ac, e4b, 1);
If the first ac->ac_found > sbi->s_mb_max_to_scan check in
ext4_mb_check_limits is met, we will set ac_status to
AC_STATUS_BREAK and call ext4_mb_try_best_found to try to use
ac->ac_b_ex.
If ext4_mb_try_best_found successes, then block allocation finishs,
the removed ac->ac_found > sbi->s_mb_min_to_scan check is not reachable.
If ext4_mb_try_best_found fails, then we set EXT4_MB_HINT_FIRST and
reset ac->ac_b_ex to retry block allocation. We will use any found
free extent in ext4_mb_measure_extent before reach the removed
ac->ac_found > sbi->s_mb_min_to_scan check.
In summary, the removed ac->ac_found > sbi->s_mb_min_to_scan check is
not reachable and we can remove that dead check.
