ext4: use stream-alloc when mb_group_prealloc set to zero

The kernel will crash on

ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:
	BUG_ON(ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len <= 0);

after we set /sys/fs/ext4/sda/mb_group_prealloc to zero and create new files in an ext4 filesystem.

The reason is: ac_b_ex.fe_len also set to zero(mb_group_prealloc) in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request
because the ac_flags contains EXT4_MB_HINT_GROUP_ALLOC.

I think when someone set mb_group_prealloc to zero, it means DO NOT USE GROUP PREALLOCATION,
so we should set alloc-strategy to STREAM in this case.
