ext4: remove ext4_new_blocks() and call ext4_mb_new_blocks() directly
There was only one caller of the compatibility function
ext4_new_blocks(), in balloc.c's ext4_alloc_blocks(). Change it to
call ext4_mb_new_blocks() directly, and remove ext4_new_blocks()
altogether. This cleans up the code, by removing two extra functions
from the call chain, and hopefully saving some stack usage.
