Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [GFS2] fix gfs2 block allocation (cleaned up)

From: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@...hat.com>

This patch fixes bz 450641.

This patch changes the computation for zero_metapath_length(), which it
renames to metapath_branch_start(). When you are extending the metadata
tree, The indirect blocks that point to the new data block must either
diverge from the existing tree either at the inode, or at the first
indirect block. They can diverge at the first indirect block because the
inode has room for 483 pointers while the indirect blocks have room for
509 pointers, so when the tree is grown, there is some free space in the
first indirect block. What metapath_branch_start() now computes is the
height where the first indirect block for the new data block is located.
It can either be 1 (if the indirect block diverges from the inode) or 2
(if it diverges from the first indirect block).
