[RFC][PATCH 3/5] ext4: Fix abs() usage in ext4_mb_check_group_pa

From: John Stultz
Date: Mon Sep 14 2015 - 21:06:57 EST


The ext4_fsblk_t type is a long long, which should not be used
with abs(), as is done in ext4_mb_check_group_pa().

This patch modifies ext4_mb_check_group_pa() to use abs64()
instead.
