Btrfs: use global reserve when deleting unused block group after ENOSPC
 
It's possible to reach a state where the cleaner kthread isn't able to
start a transaction to delete an unused block group due to lack of enough
free metadata space and due to lack of unallocated device space to allocate
a new metadata block group as well. If this happens try to use space from
the global block group reserve just like we do for unlink operations, so
that we don't reach a permanent state where starting a transaction for
filesystem operations (file creation, renames, etc) keeps failing with
-ENOSPC. Such an unfortunate state was observed on a machine where over
a dozen unused data block groups existed and the cleaner kthread was
failing to delete them due to ENOSPC error when attempting to start a
transaction, and even running balance with a -dusage=0 filter failed with
ENOSPC as well. Also unmounting and mounting again the filesystem didn't
help. Allowing the cleaner kthread to use the global block reserve to
delete the unused data block groups fixed the problem.
