The should_alloc_chunk code has math in it to decide if we're getting
short on space and if we should go ahead and pre-emptively allocate a
new chunk.  Previously when we did not have the delayed_refs_rsv, we had
to assume that the global block rsv was essentially used space and could
be allocated completely at any time, so we counted this space as "used"
when determining if we had enough slack space in our current space_info.
But on any slightly used file system (10gib or more) you can have a
global reserve of 512mib.  With our default chunk size being 1gib that
means we just assume half of the block group is used, which could result
in us allocating more metadata chunks than is actually required.

With the delayed refs rsv we can flush delayed refs as the space becomes
tight, and if we actually need more block groups then they will be
allocated based on space pressure.  We no longer require assuming the
global reserve is used space in our calculations.
