[ Upstream commit 19a043bb1fd1b5cb2652ca33536c55e6c0a70df0 ]

ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple ignores the group before goal, so it will fail
if free blocks reside in group before goal. Try all groups to avoid
unexpected failure.
Search finishes either if any free block is found or if no available
blocks are found. Simpliy check "i >= max" to distinguish the above
cases.
