In a filesystem without finobt, the Space manager selects an AG to alloc a new inode, where xfs_dialloc_ag_inobt() will search the AG for the free slot chunk. When the new inode is in the same AG as its parent, the btree will be searched starting on the parent's record, and then retried from the top if no slot is available beyond the parent's record. To exit this loop though, xfs_dialloc_ag_inobt() relies on the fact that the btree must have a free slot available, once its callers relied on the agi->freecount when deciding how/where to allocate this new inode. In the case when the agi->freecount is corrupted, showing available inodes in an AG, when in fact there is none, this becomes an infinite loop. Add a way to stop the loop when a free slot is not found in the btree, making the function to fall into the whole AG scan which will then, be able to detect the corruption and shut the filesystem down. As pointed by Brian, this might impact performance, giving the fact we don't reset the search distance anymore when we reach the end of the tree, giving it fewer tries before falling back to the whole AG search, but it will only affect searches that start within 10 records to the end of the tree.
