The fix is the right way about it.

This may seem petty, but I think this would be better:

	blocks = dblocks >> shift
	if (blocks & xfs_mask32lo(shift)) {
		if (blocks < XFS_AG_MAX_BLOCKS(blocklog))
			blocks++;
	}

It emphasizes more why we'd be doing the increment,
plus I'd rather see a "real" increment rather than
adding a Boolean value.

Either way:
