The reservation code is so fragile, I always get nervous when making
any changes. However, the straight forward patch below passes some
simple testing. The only difference I can see is that global counts
are adjusted before sub-pool counts. This should not be an issue as
global and sub-pool counts are adjusted independently (not under the
same lock). Allocation code checks sub-pool counts before global
counts. So, there is a SMALL potential that a racing allocation which
previously succeeded would now fail. I do not think this is an issue
in practice.
