Currently the debug-only xfs_bmap_exact_minlen_extent_alloc allocation variant fails to drop into the lowmode last restor allocator, and thus can sometimes fail allocations for which the caller has a transaction block reservation. Fix this by using xfs_bmap_btalloc_low_space to do the actual allocation.
