[LSF/MM TOPIC][ATTEND] ENOSPC notification for squishy targets

Hannes touched on this briefly in his thin provisioning topic, where
he'd like some sort of notification system to allow tools to
automatically adjust thin provisioned storage either by extension or
trimming.

I'd like to extend the topic to notification for similar conditions
that can occur with btrfs snapshots, especially in the case where they
happen automatically. Hints from the file system when ENOSPC is
approaching and automatic cleanup would be useful would help user
experience quite a bit.

Likewise, with LVM snapshots, file systems will encounter EIO when the
CoW device runs out of exception space.

A general way to communicate this information to userspace would be
useful in a bunch of different scenarios.
