ext4: don't load the block bitmap for block groups which have no space Add a short circuit check to ext4_mb_group_group() so that we don't bother to load the block bitmap for a block group which does not have any space available. (Or which does not have enough space until we are in desperation mode, i.e., when cr == 3.)
