In ext4_mb_check_group_pa(), cur_distance is selected to return only
when it's smaller than new_distance, this is unreasonable. If
cur_distance is equal to new_distance, current code will return
new_distance to update cpa from ext4_mb_use_preallocated(), which doesn't
make any sense.

This patch makes new_distance to return only when it's smaller then
cur_distance, which avoids unnecessary cpa update in
ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
