Currently on many places in ext4 we're using
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() even though we're only interested in
knowing the block group of the particular block, not the offset within
the block group so we can use more efficient way to compute block group.

This patch introduces ext4_get_group_number() which computes block group
for a givem block much more efficiently. Use this function instead of
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() everywhere where we're only interested in
knowing the block group.

Again, we have the same problem as the previous patch.  I could
imagine setting a flag which uses the shift-instead-of-div
optimization, but that will reduce the optimization somewhat.  OTOH,
an 64-bit division is pretty expensive, especially on older/simpler
CPU's, so perhaps it's worth it.

Just to be clear, I was thinking that at mount time we could check to
see whether the number of blocks per group == blocksize * 8, and if
so, then set a per-filesystem flag in the sbi structure which we could
then use to optionally use the shift-right optimization.
