delay capable() check in ext4_has_free_blocks()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As reported by Eric Paris, the capable() check in ext4_has_free_blocks()
sometimes causes SELinux denials.

We can rearrange the logic so that we only try to use the root-reserved
blocks when necessary, and even then we can move the capable() test
to last, to avoid the check most of the time.
