Commit 196e402adf2e ("ext4: improve cr 0 / cr 1 group scanning") introduces
the sysfs control interface "mb_max_linear_groups" to address the problem
that rotational devices performance degrades when the "mb_optimize_scan"
feature is enabled, which may result in distant block group allocation.
However, the name of the interface was incorrect in the comment to the
ext4/mballoc.c file, and this patch fixes it, without further changes.

Looks good.
