Subject: [PATCH 13/14] staging: lustre: llog: limit file size of plain logs

From: Alex Zhuravlev <alexey.zhuravlev@...el.com>

on small filesystems plain log can grow dramatically. especially
given large record sizes produced by DNE and extended chunksize.
I saw >50% of space consumed by a single llog file which was still
in use. this leads to test failures (sanityn, etc).
the patch introduces additional limit on plain llog size, which
is calculated as <free space>/64 (128MB at most) at llog creation
time.
