Btrfs: fix ENOSPC caused by orphan items reservations
Currently, we keep space reserved for all inode orphan items until the inode is evicted (i.e., all references to it are dropped). We hit an issue where an application would keep a bunch of deleted files open (by design) and thus keep a large amount of space reserved, causing ENOSPC errors when other operations tried to reserve space. This long-standing reservation isn't absolutely necessary for a couple of reasons: - We can almost always make the reservation we need or steal from the global reserve for the orphan item - If we can't, it's not the end of the world if we drop the orphan item on the floor and let the next mount clean it up So, get rid of persistent reservation and just reserve space in btrfs_evict_inode().
