Subject: [PATCH 5.15 021/136] btrfs: put initial index value of a directory in a constant

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 528ee697126fddaff448897c2d649bd756153c79 ]

At btrfs_set_inode_index_count() we refer twice to the number 2 as the
initial index value for a directory (when it's empty), with a proper
comment explaining the reason for that value. In the next patch I'll
have to use that magic value in the directory logging code, so put
the value in a #define at btrfs_inode.h, to avoid hardcoding the
magic value again at tree-log.c.
