This probably shouldn't use XFS_TRANS_RESERVE. If we are at ENOSPC,
then the operation simply fails. Yes, we've already punched the
hole, so we shouldn't get ENOSPC here, but I don't think it's worth
dipping into the reserve pool as it has much more important uses...

You don' tneed to resent the entire patch for this - I can remove it
directly myself....

Otherwise it looks good, so consider it
