[PATCH 4/5] btrfs: do not account global reserve in can_overcommit

[Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>]

We ran into a problem in production where a box with plenty of space was
getting wedged doing ENOSPC flushing.  These boxes only had 20% of the
disk allocated, but their metadata space + global reserve was right at
the size of their metadata chunk.

In this case can_overcommit should be allowing allocations without
problem, but there's logic in can_overcommit that doesn't allow us to
overcommit if there's not enough real space to satisfy the global
reserve.

This is for historical reasons.  Before there were only certain places
we could allocate chunks.  We could go to commit the transaction and not
have enough space for our pending delayed refs and such and be unable to
allocate a new chunk.  This would result in a abort because of ENOSPC.
This code was added to solve this problem.

However since then we've gained the ability to always be able to
allocate a chunk.  So we can easily overcommit in these cases without
risking a transaction abort because of ENOSPC.

Also prior to now the global reserve really would be used because that's
the space we relied on for delayed refs.  With delayed refs being
tracked separately we no longer have to worry about running out of
delayed refs space while committing.  We are much less likely to
exhaust our global reserve space during transaction commit.

Fix the can_overcommit code to simply see if our current usage + what we
want is less than our current free space plus whatever slack space we
have in the disk is.  This solves the problem we were seeing in
production and keeps us from flushing as aggressively as we approach our
actual metadata size usage.
