Subject: ext4: fix wrong assert in ext4_mb_normalize_request()

From: Maurizio Lombardi <[email protected]>

commit b5b60778558cafad17bbcbf63e0310bd3c68eb17 upstream.

The variable "size" is expressed as number of blocks and not as
number of clusters, this could trigger a kernel panic when using
ext4 with the size of a cluster different from the size of a block.
