ext4: make mb_optimize_scan performance mount option work with extents

Browse Source 
Currently mb_optimize_scan scan feature which improves filesystem
performance heavily (when FS is fragmented), seems to be not working
with files with extents (ext4 by default has files with extents).

This patch fixes that and makes mb_optimize_scan feature work
for files with extents.

Below are some performance numbers obtained when allocating a 10M and 100M
file with and w/o this patch on a filesytem with no 1M contiguous block.
