[PATCH] Fix orlov allocator boundary case

In the interests of SMP scalability the ext2 free blocks and free inodes
counters are "approximate".  But there is a piece of code in the Orlov
allocator which fails due to boundary conditions on really small
filesystems.

Fix that up via a final allocation pass which simply uses first-fit for
allocation of a directory inode.
