Kirk McKusick 5006e77609 This patch fixes a problem whereby filesystems that ran
out of inodes in a cylinder group would fail to check for
free inodes in other cylinder groups. This bug was introduced
in the UFS2 code merge two days ago.

An inode is allocated by calling ffs_valloc which calls
ffs_hashalloc to do the filesystem scan. Ffs_hashalloc
walks around the cylinder groups calling its passed allocator
(ffs_nodealloccg in this case) until the allocator returns a
non-zero result. The bug is that ffs_hashalloc expects the
passed allocator function to return a 64-bit ufs2_daddr_t.
When allocating inodes, it calls ffs_nodealloccg which was
returning a 32-bit ino_t. The ffs_hashalloc code checked
a 64-bit return value and usually found random non-zero bits in
the high 32-bits so decided that the allocation had succeeded
(in this case in the only cylinder group that it checked).
When the result was passed back to ffs_valloc it looked at
only the bottom 32-bits, saw zero and declared the system
out of inodes. But ffs_hashalloc had really only checked
one cylinder group.

The fix is to change ffs_nodealloccg to return 64-bit results.
