Commit 0e8c36a9fd81 ("Btrfs: fix lots of orphan inodes when the space
is not enough") changed the way transaction reservation is made in
btrfs_evict_node and as a result this function became unused. This has
been the status quo for 5 years in which time no one noticed, so I'd
say it's safe to assume it's unlikely it will ever be used again.

"Transcaction API, removing the func does not make sense without
removing BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT at the same time."

I can't quite understand what you are saying. There are couple of more
places where BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT is used outside of the
transaction api (btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata, btrfs_evict_inode and
reserve_metadata_space). Do you mean those function should also remove
the usage of FLUSH_LIMIT?
