Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: check free inode count before allocaing an inode

Recnetly, I ecountered some corrupted filesystems in which some
groups' free inode counts were negative, it seemed that free inode
count was overflow.  This patch teaches ext4 to check free inode
count before allocaing an inode.
