Gabriel Goller 78bf05a458 fix: use fragmented block size for space calculation
We currently calculate the size of a datastore using `statfs64`, which
returns the number of blocks in the fs and the two block sizes:
fragemented block size(f_frsize) and block size (f_bsize). To calculate
eg the total space in a datastore we use total_blocks * f_bsize, which
is not always correct.

`f_frsize` is the minimum unit of allocation on the filesystem (in
bytes) and in 99% of the cases equal to `f_bsize`, but in some cases
it differs. For example some filesystems allow smaller blocks for small
files, in case f_frsize < f_bsize. In that case, f_frsize * total_blocks
returns (mostly) the correct result (ceph also did some weird stuff, which is
now being fixed though [0][1]). `statvfs` also documents this as the
recommended way ('fsblkcnt_t f_blocks;   /* Size of fs in f_frsize units */')[2].

This patch aligns the the behavior with the libc utilities (also used by
`df`) [3].
