ext4: Don't skip prefetching BLOCK_UNINIT groups
Currently, ext4_mb_prefetch() and ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() skip BLOCK_UNINIT groups since fetching their bitmaps doesn't need disk IO. As a consequence, we end not initializing the buddy structures and CR0/1 lists for these BGs, even though it can be done without any disk IO overhead. Hence, don't skip such BGs during prefetch and prefetch_fini. This improves the accuracy of CR0/1 allocation as earlier, we could have essentially empty BLOCK_UNINIT groups being ignored by CR0/1 due to their buddy not being initialized, leading to slower CR2 allocations. With this patch CR0/1 will be able to discover these groups as well, thus improving performance.
