[RFC PATCH v6.6 07/10] libfs: Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted

[ Upstream commit 903dc9c43a155e0893280c7472d4a9a3a83d75a6 ]

Testing shows that the EBUSY error return from mtree_alloc_cyclic()
leaks into user space. The ERRORS section of "man creat(2)" says:

> EBUSY O_EXCL was specified in flags and pathname refers
> to a block device that is in use by the system
> (e.g., it is mounted).

ENOSPC is closer to what applications expect in this situation.

Note that the normal range of simple directory offset values is
2..2^63, so hitting this error is going to be rare to impossible.
