This turned out to be because btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log was checking for ret == -ENOSPC, but this function sets err on error, and returns err. So instead of properly marking the inode as needing a full commit, we were returning -ENOSPC and aborting in __btrfs_unlink_inode. Fix this by checking the proper variable so that we return the correct thing in the case of ENOSPC. The ENOENT needs to be checked, because btrfs_lookup_dir_item_index() can return -ENOENT if the dir item isn't in the tree log (which would happen if we hadn't fsync'ed this guy). We actually handle that case in __btrfs_unlink_inode, so it's an expected error to get back.
