This seems quite fragile, it's not straightforward to see from the
context that the NO_FLUSH code will always return ENOSPC. I followed a
few calls down from btrfs_block_rsv_add and it's well hidden inside
__reserve_bytes. So in case it's an invariant I'd rather add an
assertion, ie. ASSERT(ret == 0 || ret == -ENOSPC) so at least we know
when this gets broken. Otherwise looks ok.
