testcase

No mount per-sb counters (freeblocks/freeinodes/dir and etc) are initialized 
before journal was replayed.
But in fact if journal wasn't empty statistics will be probably changed after
journal replay. This result in per-sb counter  inconsistency which result in
incorrect delalloc reservation. See testcase.
This is long standing bug at least from 2.6.12 where the linus's tree starts i
(was too lazy to dig in to old-git tree).
But it case of ext3 this result only in incorrect numbers from statfs()
The fix is simple, we just have to move counter initialisation after
journal_reply.
I've open this bug only as testcase storage.
