At 4k block size, the length of the s_mb_avg_fragment_size list is 14,
but an oversized s_mb_group_prealloc is set, causing slab-out-of-bounds
to be triggered by an attempt to access an element at index 29.

Add a new attr_id attr_clusters_in_group with values in the range
[0, sbi->s_clusters_per_group] and declare mb_group_prealloc as
that type to fix the issue. In addition avoid returning an order
from mb_avg_fragment_size_order() greater than MB_NUM_ORDERS(sb)
and reduce some useless loops.

Looks good. Just one nit below. Otherwise feel free to add:

How can this possibly trigger now? MB_NUM_ORDERS is sb->s_blocksize_bits +
2. 'i' is starting at fls(ac->ac_g_ex.fe_len) and ac_g_ex.fe_len shouldn't
be larger than clusters per group, hence fls() should be less than
sb->s_blocksize_bits? Am I missing something? And if yes, we should rather
make sure 'order' is never absurdly big?

I suspect this code is defensive upto a point of being confusing :)

Yes, this is indeed defensive code! Only walk into this branch when
WARN_ON_ONCE(order > MB_NUM_ORDERS(sb)) is triggered.
As previously mentioned by ojaswin in the following link:

"The reason for this is that otherwise when order is large eg 29,
we would unnecessarily loop from i=29 to i=13 while always
looking at the same avg_fragment_list[13]."

Thank you so much for the review! ღ( ´・ᴗ・` )
