This is wrong sb->s_num_fc_blks == 0 means that the fast-commit area should
have the default size of 256 blocks. At least that's how it behaves
currently and we should not change the behavior.

Similarly if the number of fastcommit blocks was too big (i.e. there was
not enough space left for ordinary journal), we effectively silently
disable fastcommit and you break this behavior in this patch.
