xfs: account for the refcount btree in the alloc/free log reservation
Every time we allocate or free a data extent, we might need to split the refcount btree. Reserve some blocks in the transaction to handle this possibility. Even though the deferred refcount code can roll a transaction to avoid overloading the transaction, we can still exceed the reservation. Certain pathological workloads (1k blocks, no cowextsize hint, random directio writes), cause a perfect storm wherein a refcount adjustment of a large range of blocks causes full tree splits in two separate extents in two separate refcount tree blocks; allocating new refcount tree blocks causes rmap btree splits; and all the allocation activity causes the freespace btrees to split, blowing the reservation.
