Upon enabling fsdax + reflink for XFS, xfs/179 began to report refcount
metadata corruptions after being run. Specifically, xfs_repair noticed
single-block refcount records that could be combined but had not been.
The root cause of this is improper MAXREFCOUNT edge case handling in
xfs_refcount_merge_extents. When we're trying to find candidates for a
refcount btree record merge, we compute the refcount attribute of the
merged record, but we fail to account for the fact that once a record
hits rc_refcount == MAXREFCOUNT, it is pinned that way forever. Hence
the computed refcount is wrong, and we fail to merge the extents.
Fix this by adjusting the merge predicates to compute the adjusted
refcount correctly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
