Subject: [PATCH v4 5/9] ext4: add new attr pointer attr_mb_order

The s_mb_best_avail_max_trim_order is of type unsigned int, and has a
range of values well beyond the normal use of the mb_order. Although the
mballoc code is careful enough that large numbers don't matter there, but
this can mislead the sysadmin into thinking that it's normal to set such
values. Hence add a new attr_id attr_mb_order with values in the range
[0, 64] to avoid storing garbage values and make us more resilient to
surprises in the future.
