ext4: simplify mballoc preallocation size rounding for small files
The if-else ladder in ext4_mb_normalize_request() manually rounds up
the preallocation size to the next power of two for files up to 1MB,
enumerating each step from 16KB to 1MB individually. Replace this with
a single roundup_pow_of_two() call clamped to a 16KB minimum, which
is functionally equivalent but much more concise.
Also replace raw byte constants with SZ_1M and SZ_16K from
<linux/sizes.h> for clarity, and remove the stale "XXX: should this
table be tunable?" comment that has been there since the original
mballoc code.
No functional change.
