[ Upstream commit cf4ff938b47fc5c00b0ccce53a3b50eca9b32281 ]
ext4_mb_normalize_request() can move logical start of allocated blocks to reduce fragmentation and better utilize preallocation. However logical block requested as a start of allocation (ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical) should always be covered by allocated blocks so we should check that by modifying and to or in the assertion.
