Dave Chinner f08f984c63 xfs: prefer free inodes at ENOSPC over chunk allocation
When an XFS filesystem has free inodes in chunks already allocated
on disk, it will still allocate new inode chunks if the target AG
has no free inodes in it. Normally, this is a good idea as it
preserves locality of all the inodes in a given directory.

However, at ENOSPC this can lead to using the last few remaining
free filesystem blocks to allocate a new chunk when there are many,
many free inodes that could be allocated without consuming free
space. This results in speeding up the consumption of the last few
blocks and inode create operations then returning ENOSPC when there
free inodes available because we don't have enough block left in the
filesystem for directory creation reservations to proceed.

Hence when we are near ENOSPC, we should be attempting to preserve
the remaining blocks for directory block allocation rather than
using them for unnecessary inode chunk creation.

This particular behaviour is exposed by xfs/294, when it drives to
ENOSPC on empty file creation whilst there are still thousands of
free inodes available for allocation in other AGs in the filesystem.

Hence, when we are within 1% of ENOSPC, change the inode allocation
behaviour to prefer to use existing free inodes over allocating new
inode chunks, even though it results is poorer locality of the data
set. It is more important for the allocations to be space efficient
near ENOSPC than to have optimal locality for performance, so lets
modify the inode AG selection code to reflect that fact.

This allows generic/294 to not only pass with this allocator rework
patchset, but to increase the number of post-ENOSPC empty inode
allocations to from ~600 to ~9080 before we hit ENOSPC on the
directory create transaction reservation.
