want_new_bset() returns the address of a new bset to initialize if we wish to do so in a btree node - either because the previous one is too big, or because it's been written. The case for 'previous bset was written' was wrong: it's only supposed to check for if we have space in the node for one more block, but because it subtracted the header from the space available it would never initialize a new bset if we were down to the last block in a node. Fixing this results in fewer btree node splits/compactions, which fixes a bug with flushing the journal to go read-only sometimes not terminating or taking excessively long.

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 reStructuredText 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.
