xfs: inode log reservations are still too small
Back in commit 23956703 ("xfs: inode log reservations are too small"), the reservation size was increased to take into account the difference in size between the in-memory BMBT block headers and the on-disk BMDR headers. This solved a transaction overrun when logging the inode size. Recently, however, we've seen a number of these same overruns on kernels with the above fix in it. All of them have been by 4 bytes, so we must still not be accounting for something correctly. Through inspection it turns out the above commit didn't take into account everything it should have. That is, it only accounts for a single log op_hdr structure, when it can actually require up to four op_hdrs - one for each region (log iovec) that is formatted. These regions are the inode log format header, the inode core, and the two forks that can be held in the literal area of the inode. This means we are not accounting for 36 bytes of log space that the transaction can use, and hence when we get inodes in certain formats with particular fragmentation patterns we can overrun the transaction. Fix this by adding the correct accounting for log op_headers in the transaction.
