This structure definition does not reflect of it's naming.
Why can't we also add cblk & clen, flags to it?

I think the idea of defining a new function named
ext4_mb_prepare_mark_context() was that we can prepare "struct ext4_mark_context"
with different cblk, clen & flags arguments for cases where we might
have to call ext4_mb_mark_context() more than once in the same function
or call ext4_mb_mark_context() anywhere but at the start of the function.

As I see it in the current series, we are calling
ext4_mb_prepare_mark_context() at the start of every function. Just for
this purpose we don't need an extra function, right? That we can directly do
at the time of declaring a structure variable itself (like how you did
in previous version)

What do you think of the approach where we add cblk, clen & flags
variables to ext4_mark_context()? Do you see any problems/difficulties
with that design?
