Subject[PATCH 3.16 054/148] jbd2: Fix possible overflow in jbd2_log_space_left()
3.16.82-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

commit add3efdd78b8a0478ce423bb9d4df6bd95e8b335 upstream.

When number of free space in the journal is very low, the arithmetic in
jbd2_log_space_left() could underflow resulting in very high number of
free blocks and thus triggering assertion failure in transaction commit
code complaining there's not enough space in the journal:

J_ASSERT(journal->j_free > 1);

Properly check for the low number of free blocks.
