We've got four reports on this bug.

The cause is we didn't reserve enough space when starting a transaction.

We need space for:

1. btrfs_insert_empty_item()
2. btrfs_update_inode()
3. btrfs_drop_extents()

The first 2 are easy, but drop_extents is not, we have to calc the space
needed for drop_extents in worst case.
