ocfs2: retry on ENOSPC if sufficient space in truncate log

The testcase "mmaptruncate" in ocfs2 test suite always fails with ENOSPC
error on small volume (say less than 10G).  This testcase repeatedly
performs "extend" and "truncate" on a file.  Continuously, it truncates
the file to 1/2 of the size, and then extends to 100% of the size.  The
main bitmap will quickly run out of space because the "truncate" code
prevent truncate log from being flushed by
ocfs2_schedule_truncate_log_flush(osb, 1), while truncate log may have
cached lots of clusters.

So retry to allocate after flushing truncate log when ENOSPC is
returned.  And we cannot reuse the deleted blocks before the transaction
committed.  Fortunately, we already have a function to do this -
ocfs2_try_to_free_truncate_log().  Just need to remove the "static"
modifier and put it into the right place.

The "unlock"/"lock" code isn't elegant, but there seems to be no better
option.
