Starting preemptive flushing at 50% of available free space is a good
start, but some workloads are particularly abusive and can quickly
overwhelm the preemptive flushing code and drive us into using tickets.

Handle this by clamping down on our threshold for starting and
continuing to run preemptive flushing.  This is particularly important
for our overcommit case, as we can really drive the file system into
overages and then it's more difficult to pull it back as we start to
actually fill up the file system.

The clamping is essentially 2^CLAMP, but we start at 1 so whatever we
calculate for overcommit is the baseline.

nit: This can easily be rewritten to :

 u64 ordered = percpu_counter_sum_positive(&fs_info->ordered_bytes);
 u64 delalloc =  percpu_counter_sum_positive(&fs_info->delalloc_bytes);

as it doesn't cross the 80 chars boundary, no need for the extra 2 lines :)
