ext4: Give symbolic names to mballoc criterias
mballoc criterias have historically been called by numbers
like CR0, CR1... however this makes it confusing to understand
what each criteria is about.
Change these criterias from numbers to symbolic names and add
relevant comments. While we are at it, also reformat and add some
comments to ext4_seq_mb_stats_show() for better readability.
Additionally, define CR_FAST which signifies the criteria
below which we can make quicker decisions like:
* quitting early if (free block < requested len)
* avoiding to scan free extents smaller than required len.
* avoiding to initialize buddy cache and work with existing cache
* limiting prefetches
