Thanks for this cleanup! Feel free to add:

Just one suggestion for consideration below:

Maybe this could be (!ext4_mb_cr_expensive(cr) || cr == CR_GOAL_LEN_SLOW)?
Or maybe more explanatory would be (cr < CR_ANY_FREE) because AFAIU that's
the only scan where we bother scanning groups that have no chance of
satisfying the full allocation? Anyway a short comment explaining this
might be useful. And in either case we can get rid of a bit confusing
CR_FAST define.
