Er.. yeah.  That's a left over from before I moved some verification
into fill_super, and then it got simplified to the point of being
utterly stupid.  It's been a long day.

I guess I could either just reassign sbi->s_[iz]map_blocks right then
and truly ignore the extra block, or just always pass the calculated
blocks_needed to count_free.  Which would you prefer?
