[PATCH 5/8] xfs: ensure f_ffree returned by statfs() is non-negative

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Stuart Brodsky <sbrodsky@sgi.com>

Because of delayed updates to sb_icount field in the super block, it
is possible to allocate over maxicount number of inodes.  This
causes the arithmetic to calculate a negative number of free inodes
in user commands like df or stat -f.

Since maxicount is a somewhat arbitrary number, a slight over
allocation is not critical but user commands should be displayed as
0 or greater and never go negative.  To do this the value in the
stats buffer f_ffree is capped to never go negative.

[ Modified to use max_t as per Christoph's comment. ]
