Dave Chinner 72656c46f5 xfs: prevent 32bit overflow in space reservation ...

If we attempt to preallocate more than 2^32 blocks of space in a
single syscall, the transaction block reservation will overflow
leading to a hangs in the superblock block accounting code. This
is trivially reproduced with xfs_io. Fix the problem by capping the
allocation reservation to the maximum number of blocks a single
xfs_bmapi() call can allocate (2^21 blocks).
