man page of strip=n mount options says...
       stripe=n
              Number of file system blocks that mballoc will try to use
              for allocation size and alignment. For RAID5/6 systems
              this should be the number of data disks * RAID chunk size
              in file system blocks.

... So stripe is anyways the no. of filesystem blocks. Making it
EXT4_NUM_B2C() make sense to me.

However, there is one more user that remains in ext4_mb_find_by_goal(),
right?
