ext4: separate stream goal hits from s_bal_goals for better tracking
In ext4_mb_regular_allocator(), after the call to ext4_mb_find_by_goal()
fails to achieve the inode goal, allocation continues with the stream
allocation global goal. Currently, hits for both are combined in
sbi->s_bal_goals, hindering accurate optimization.
This commit separates global goal hits into sbi->s_bal_stream_goals. Since
stream allocation doesn't use ac->ac_g_ex.fe_start, set fe_start to -1.
This prevents stream allocations from being counted in s_bal_goals. Also
clear EXT4_MB_HINT_TRY_GOAL to avoid calling ext4_mb_find_by_goal again.
After adding `stream_goal_hits`, `/proc/fs/ext4/sdx/mb_stats` will show:
