ext4: check for need init flag in ext4_mb_load_buddy
We should check for need init flag with the group's alloc_sem held, to
make sure while we are loading the buddy cache and holding a reference
to it, a file system resize can't add new blocks to same group.
The patch also drops the need init flag check in
ext4_mb_regular_allocator() because doing the check without holding
alloc_sem is racy.
