What are the precise reproduction details?   We're supposed to keep track of
how many delayed allocation blocks are outstanding, so that we return ENOSPC
*before* we get to this stage.

I'm not sure we do the right thing if we mmap into an unallocated region of
file; when do we actually track delayed allocation blocks?   The right answer
would be at mmap() time, but OTOH that means if we mmap a 2GB region, do we
immediately take a 2GB charge because the process might write into this region?
 And does free space returned by 'df' immediately drop by 2GB?

Do you know if there was any allocation by mmap going on in your reproduction
case?   That seems the most likely cause to me, if I had to guess....
