Hi Yuan,

Thanks for the patch - 

However while reviewing this, I also looked at ext2_count_free_blocks(). 
And then I felt maybe the right thing to do is to print more info when
EXT2FS_DEBUG is enabled which would be to dump both stored counters in the debug message 
i.e. (from ext2_super_block -> s_free_**_count, and from ext2_sb_info -> s_free**_counter)

@Jan, 
Please do let me know your thoughts on this. This doesn't changes the functionality, 
since the return value remains the same. But it dumps both stored counter values
in debug output, which is what I think the intended behaviour of the print
should be in the first place. 

If this looks correct to you - I can send an official patch fixing this.
