We can end up with free'd extents in the delayed refs, and thus
may_commit_transaction() may not think we have enough pinned space to
commit the transaction and we'll ENOSPC early.  Handle this by running
the delayed refs in order to make sure pinned is uptodate before we try
to commit the transaction.

Actually wouldn't it be better if the stages are structured:

FLUSH_DELALLOC which potentially creates a bunch of delayed refs,
FLUSH_DELAYED_REFS which in turn could free some reservations. Then IPUT
to process anything from delayed refs running and finally committing
transaction to reclaim pinned space?

Codewise this is ok.

It's more about doing the least amount of work for the largest chance of success.

Flushing delalloc will reclaim space in one of two ways, first the compression 
case where we allocate less disk space than we had reserved, second the free'ing 
of extents we drop when overwriting old space.  In order to get that free'd 
space we'd have to wait on delayed refs to make sure pinned was uptodate before 
committing the transaction.

Running delayed iputs only reclaims space in the form of delayed refs flushing 
and then committing the transaction to free that pinned area.  So at this point 
we have to run delayed refs.  Running delayed refs isn't free, so I'd rather 
just coalesce these two operations together and then run delayed refs so we're 
completely sure we need to commit the transaction if we get to that point.  Thanks,

Josef
