ext4: correct the judgment of BUG in ext4_mb_normalize_request
ext4_mb_normalize_request() can move logical start of allocated blocks
to reduce fragmentation and better utilize preallocation. However logical
block requested as a start of allocation (ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical) should
always be covered by allocated blocks so we should check that by
modifying and to or in the assertion.
