ext4: don't use CR_BEST_AVAIL_LEN for non-regular files
Using CR_BEST_AVAIL_LEN only make sense for regular files, as for
non-regular files we never normalize the allocation request length i.e.
goal len is same as original length (ac_g_ex.fe_len == ac_o_ex.fe_len).
Hence there is no scope of trimming the goal length to make it
satisfy original request len. Thus this patch avoids using
CR_BEST_AVAIL_LEN criteria for non-regular files request.
