Because of delayed updates to sb_icount field in the super block, it is
possible to allocate over maxicount number of inodes. This causes the
arithmetic to calculate a negative number of free inodes in user
commands like df or stat -f.
Since maxicount is a somewhat arbitrary number, a slight over allocation
is not critical but user commands should be displayed as 0 or greater
and never go negative. To do this the value in the stats buffer f_ffree
is capped to never go negative.
