Description of problem:
mke2fs allocates an incorrect number of inodes and size for some partition 
sizes and requested number of inodes

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a mount partition: mkdir /mnt_rd
2.Create the device of the required size: dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/initrd 
bs=<size> count=1
3.Create the file:mke2fs -N 20000 -F -m0 /root/initrd
4.Mount the file:mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd /mnt_rd
5.Observe device status:e2fsck /dev/loop0
6. Unmount the file:unmount /mnt_rd

This sequence fails for <size> of 16000k and 17000k but works for 18000k.
	

Actual Results:  For 16000k, e2fsck shows incorrect inodes (16384 files) and 
correct size (16000 blocks).
For 17000k, e2fsck shows incorrect inodes (16384 files) and incorrect size 
(16385 blocks).
For 18000k, e2fsck shows almost correct inodes (20016 files) and correct size 
(18000 blocks).

Expected Results:  I expected to see for bs=16000: 20000 files and 16000 blocks.
For bs=17000: 20000 files and 17000 blocks.
For bs=18000: 20000 files and 18000 blocks.
