Yeah, good catch...

Hm, well - not that this is an answer, but this code has been this way
since 2005.  So I'd like to fix the *regression* w/ my patch as-is,
and then worry about this.

So, on to worrying about this ... ;)

"max_metadata" seems a little misnamed; inodes can be allocated in higher
AGs, but "max_metadata" and lower are the 'preferred' AGs for inode
allocation.

We only carve out enough via pag->pagf_metadata to reserve m_maxicount,
which (here) is based on the (old) sb_dblocks & sb_imax_pct.

So yeah, it seems that in the growfs case, we don't mark any *new* AGs as
"preferred" for inodes, even though with a fixed sb_imax_pct and a larger
sb_dblocks, we'd need more space to accommodate the imaxpct.

But reserving higher AGs would be a half-measure at best; they weren't
preferred before the growfs, so are very likely not wholly available
after the growfs.

To really nail this down we'd probably need to see how many inode clusters
could be created in each AG above the old threshold, and keep advancing AGs
until we've "preferred" enough.  Bleah.  I hate inode32...
