[PATCH v2] ext4: Replace CR_FAST macro with inline function for readability

From: Ojaswin Mujoo
Date: Fri Jun 30 2023 - 05:00:18 EST


Replace CR_FAST with ext4_mb_cr_expensive() inline function for better
readability. This function returns true if the criteria is one of the
expensive/slower ones where lots of disk IO/prefetching is acceptable.

No functional changes are intended in this patch.
