[PATCH 4/6] xfs: always succeed at setting the reserve pool size

["Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Nowadays, xfs_mod_fdblocks will always choose to fill the reserve pool
with freed blocks before adding to fdblocks.  Therefore, we can change
the behavior of xfs_reserve_blocks slightly -- setting the target size
of the pool should always succeed, since a deficiency will eventually
be made up as blocks get freed.
