Ok. If you delay the ip->i_delayed_blks and quota accounting until
after the incore extent tree updates are done, this code doesn't
need to undo anything and can just return an error. We should also
keep in mind that an error here will likely cause a filesystem
shutdown when the transaction is canceled....

FWIW, if we are going to do this for rt, we should probably also
consider do it for normal delalloc conversion when the indlen
reservation runs out due to excessive fragmentation of large
extents. Separate patch and all that, but it doesn't really make
sense to me to only do this for RT when we know it is also needed in
reare cases on non-rt workloads...
