The "needed" controls the number of ext4_prealloc_space to discard in ext4_discard_preallocations. Function ext4_discard_preallocations is supposed to discard all non-used preallocated blocks when "needed" is 0 and now ext4_discard_preallocations is always called with "needed" = 0. Remove unnecessary parameter "needed" and remove all non-used preallocated spaces in ext4_discard_preallocations to simplify the code. Note: If count of non-used preallocated spaces could be more than UINT_MAX, there was a memory leak as some non-used preallocated spaces are left ununsed and this commit will fix it. Otherwise, there is no behavior change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
