Subject: [PATCH 09/29] jbd2: Cleanup needed free block estimates when starting a transaction

__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd.
jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently committing
transaction while it didn't account for credits needed for control blocks.
__jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control blocks as a fraction of free
space. Since results of these two functions are always only compared against
each other, this works correct but is somewhat strange. Move the estimates so
that jbd_space_needed() returns number of blocks needed for a transaction
including control blocks and __jbd2_log_space_left() returns free space in the
journal (with the committing transaction already subtracted). Rename functions
to jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd2_space_needed() while we are changing them.
