Subject: [patch] minix zmap block counts calculation fix

Hello,

The original Linus' minix zmap blocks calculation was correct, in the
formula of: sbi->s_nzones - sbi->s_firstdatazone + 1. It is (sp->s_zones
- (sp->s_firstdatazone - 1) in the minix3 source code.

But a later patch (fs/minix: Verify bitmap block counts before mounting)
has changed it unfortunately as:
  sbi->s_nzones - (sbi->s_firstdatazone + 1).
This would show free blocks one block less than the real when the total
data blocks are in "full zmap blocks plus one".

This patch corrects that zmap blocks calculation and tidy a printk
message while at it.
