[PATCH] Btrfs: fix race between multi-task space allocation and caching space

[Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com>]

The task may fail to get free space though it is enough when multi-task
space allocation and caching space happen at the same time.

	Task1			Caching Thread		Task2
	------------------------------------------------------------------------
	find_free_extent
	  The space has not
	  be cached, and start
	  caching thread. And
	  wait for it.
				cache space, if
				the space is > 2MB
				wake up Task1
							find_free_extent
							  get all the space that
							  is cached.
	  try to allocate space,
	  but there is no space
	  now.
	trigger BUG_ON()

The message is following:
btrfs allocation failed flags 1, wanted 4096
space_info has 1040187392 free, is not full
space_info total=1082130432, used=4096, pinned=41938944, reserved=0, may_use=40828928, readonly=0

We fix this bug by trying to allocate the space again if there are block groups
in caching.
