Thanks for the cleanup. I agree it is desirable. But:

I don't think the 'else' here is correct. When map->lblk is zero, it can
happen that i_next_alloc_goal will be 0 as well. Previously we've used
iinfo->i_location.logicalBlockNum + 1 for such cases but now we would leave
0 in 'goal'. Anyway, I'll fix this up on commit so this is just
informational.
