Baokun Li 35bfd4b44e 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:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
