xfsprogs patch for calc_default_ag_geometry

was just looking at this a little tonight.
I wonder if something like this makes things
any more correct and/or readable.

The patch looks a little ugly but once applied
I think the code makes more sense, it more closely
follows the original spirit of the function, while still
implementing the goal of different geometries for
single disks.

Most importantly it doesn't skip the tricky:

count = dblocks / blocks + (dblocks % blocks != 0);

which is probably what caused the regression.

Or maybe you guys already have your own fix :)
