Btrfs: use the global block reserve if we cannot reserve space
We call use_block_rsv right before we make an allocation in order to make sure we have enough space. Now normally people have called btrfs_start_transaction() with the appropriate amount of space that we need, so we just use some of that pre-reserved space and move along happily. The problem is where people use btrfs_join_transaction(), which doesn't actually reserve any space. So we try and reserve space here, but we cannot flush delalloc, so this forces us to return -ENOSPC when in reality we have plenty of space. The most common symptom is seeing a bunch of "couldn't dirty inode" messages in syslog. With xfstests 224 we end up falling back to start_transaction and then doing all the flush delalloc stuff which causes to hang for a very long time. So instead steal from the global reserve, which is what this is meant for anyway. With this patch and the other 2 I have sent xfstests 224 now passes successfully.
