Keep "prefetch_grp" and "nr" consistent to avoid to call ext4_mb_prefetch_fini with non-prefetched groups. When we step into next criteria, "prefetch_grp" is set to prefetch start of new criteria while "nr" is number of the prefetched group in previous criteria. If previous criteria and next criteria are both inexpensive (< CR_GOAL_LEN_SLOW) and prefetch_ios reachs sbi->s_mb_prefetch_limit in previous criteria, "prefetch_grp" and "nr" will be inconsistent and may introduce unexpected cost to do ext4_mb_init_group for non-prefetched groups. Reset "nr" to 0 when we reset "prefetch_grp" to goal group to keep them consistent.
