From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
We ran out of reserved inodes so bump the default number of reserved
inodes to 64 to get some breathing space. Otherwise we have to do a full
fs scan when increasing number of reserved inodes when some feature
needing another reserved inode is enabled. This consumes 13.5 KB on a
filesystem which is negligible these days.
