From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0baa2657dc4d79202148be79a3dc36c35f425060 upstream. Nowadays, xfs_mod_fdblocks will always choose to fill the reserve pool with freed blocks before adding to fdblocks. Therefore, we can change the behavior of xfs_reserve_blocks slightly -- setting the target size of the pool should always succeed, since a deficiency will eventually be made up as blocks get freed.
