ext4: fix zombie groups in average fragment size lists



commit 1c320d8e upstream.

Groups with no free blocks shouldn't be in any average fragment size list.
However, when all blocks in a group are allocated(i.e., bb_fragments or
bb_free is 0), we currently skip updating the average fragment size, which
means the group isn't removed from its previous s_mb_avg_fragment_size[old]
list.

This created "zombie" groups that were always skipped during traversal as
they couldn't satisfy any block allocation requests, negatively impacting
traversal efficiency.

Therefore, when a group becomes completely full, bb_avg_fragment_size_order
is now set to -1. If the old order was not -1, a removal operation is
performed; if the new order is not -1, an insertion is performed.
