[BUG]
There are several reports about vanilla `df` reports no available space,
while `btrfs filesystem df` is still reporting tons of unallocated
space.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/CAJCQCtQEu_+nL_HByAWK2zKfg2Zhpm3Ezto+sA12wwV0iq8Ghg@mail.gmail.com/T/#t
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/CAJCQCtSWW4ageK56PdHtSmgrFrDf_Qy0PbxZ5LSYYCbr3Z10ug@mail.gmail.com/T/#t

The example output from vanilla `df` would look like:
Filesystem  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop0  7.4T  623G     0 100% /media/backup

[CAUSE]
There is a special check in btrfs_statfs(), which reset f_bavail:

	if (!mixed && total_free_meta - SZ_4M < block_rsv->size)
		buf->f_bavail = 0;

This old code from 2016 mostly assumes btrfs won't reserve too much
metadata space beyond free metadata space.

However since v5.4, we had a rework on metadata space reservation, now
we alloc metadata over-commit (reserve more space than we have, as long
as we can allocate enough metadata chunks) without really allocating
enough metadata chunks.

This means block_rsv->size can easily go beyond total_free_meta, which
is the unused metadata space, and results f_bavail becomes 0.

[FIX]
The perfect fix is to modify btrfs_calc_avail_data_space(), to calculate
the needed space for metadata chunks, then calculate how many bytes we
can allocate from the remaining unallocated space.

But that's too complex just for vanilla `df` command.

Here we take a shortcut, by excluding the over-committing metadata space
from calculated data space.

This is far from perfect, but should work good enough (TM).

Why not just read fs_info->free_chunk_space and take that into account?  The 
point is we want to tell the user there's no room left if we can't allocate a 
new chunk and we only have the global reserve space left.  So just subtract the 
global reserve size from the total f_bavail as long as free_chunk_space is 
sufficient, otherwise fall back to the original calculation.  Thanks,

Josef

Because not all unallocated space can be utilized by all profiles,
that's why we have complex calculation in btrfs_calc_avail_data_space(),
which tries to emulate chunk allocator to get how many space we can
really use.

And we also need to take space usage factor into consideration.

Thanks,
