Doc fix: ext2 can only have 32,000 subdirs, not 32,768
ext2.txt says that dirs can have 32,768 subdirs, but the actual value of EXT2_LINK_MAX is 32000. ext3 is the same, but the doc does not mention it. One of ext4's features is to "fix 32000 subdirectory limit". Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
