This is used for FITRIM ioctl which will iteratively grab, allocate and trim disk space
bit by bit to avoid starving the rest of system.

Makes sense, but IMO without returning error. TRIM'ing a completely full
filesystem is a no-op (== all blocks busy, nothing to trim), not a failure.


(sbinfo->blocks_free) is a rather bad estimation of free space amount,
but we have nothing better. I suggest to return -ENOSPC here, and use
reiser4_grab_space() with BA_CAN_COMMIT to make sure that FITRIM
ioctl gets the "second soft ENOSPC".

Thanks,
Edward.
