jbd2: cleanup needed free block estimates when starting a transaction
__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd. jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently committing transaction while it didn't account for credits needed for control blocks. __jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control blocks as a fraction of free space. Since results of these two functions are always only compared against each other, this works correct but is somewhat strange. Move the estimates so that jbd_space_needed() returns number of blocks needed for a transaction including control blocks and __jbd2_log_space_left() returns free space in the journal (with the committing transaction already subtracted). Rename functions to jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd2_space_needed() while we are changing them.
