When doing MTU i/o we need to leave some credits for possible reopen requests and other operations happening in parallel. Currently we leave 1 credit which is not enough even for reopen only: we need at least 2 credits if durable handle reconnect fails. Also there may be other operations at the same time including compounding ones which require 3 credits at a time each. Fix this by leaving 8 credits which is big enough to cover most scenarios. The proper fix would be to reconnect a file handle first and then obtain credits for an MTU request but this leads to bigger code changes and should happen in other patches.
