Subject: [PATCH 5.15 240/244] xfs: always succeed at setting the reserve pool size

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 0baa2657dc4d79202148be79a3dc36c35f425060 ]

Nowadays, xfs_mod_fdblocks will always choose to fill the reserve pool
with freed blocks before adding to fdblocks.  Therefore, we can change
the behavior of xfs_reserve_blocks slightly -- setting the target size
of the pool should always succeed, since a deficiency will eventually
be made up as blocks get freed.
