Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix under-reservation of blocks when repairing sf
 directories

Whilst running QA on XFS for-next as of 7.3-rc2 with MKFS_OPTIONS="-n
size=8192", I observed the following (trimmed) dmesg splat:

This is a consequence of commit 0fe77e57588b98, which added the
following assertion to xfs_da_grow_inode_int:

 ASSERT(args->total >= dp->i_nblocks - nblks);

Tracing this back to xrep_dir_swap_prep, I noticed that the xfs_da_args
object that's passed to xfs_dir2_sf_to_block sets args->total to 1.
This is incorrect because mkfs set the directory block size to 8k and
the filesystem block size to 4k.  In other words, args->total should be
2 here, not 1.

Dave Chinner tripped over the same problem with the same branch through
a different channel -- his test setup set the fs block size to 1k, in
which case the directory block size is still set to 4k.  Here,
args->total should be 4.

Changing the assignment of args->total to sc->mp->m_dir_geo->fsbcount
makes the assertion go away, but that isn't a complete fix.  In
xrep_tempexch_estimate, we also incorrectly assume that a shortform
conversion requires 1 fsblock when it should be m_dir_geo->fsbcount.
Without that, we can under-reserve space in the transaction and cause a
filesystem shutdown.

Note that the xfs_dabuf_nfsb helper will compute the correct value for
directories and xattr, so we use that instead of open-coding the logic.
Also fix xrep_xattr_swap_prep to assign args->total via xfs_dabuf_nfsb
to avoid one logic bomb if we ever support multi-fsblock attrs.
