    btrfs: don't spin in shrink_delalloc if there is nothing to free · c4f675cd

    Observed as a large delay when --mixed filesystem is filled up.
    Test example:
    1. create tiny --mixed FS:
       $ dd if=/dev/zero of=2G.img seek=$((2048 * 1024 * 1024 - 1)) count=1 bs=1
       $ mkfs.btrfs --mixed 2G.img
       $ mount -oloop 2G.img /mnt/ut/
    2. Try to fill it up:
       $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=10M.file bs=10240 count=1024
       $ seq 1 256 | while read file_no; do echo $file_no; time cp 10M.file ${file_no}.copy; done
    
    Up to '200.copy' it goes fast, but when disk fills-up each -ENOSPC
    message takes 3 seconds to pop-up _every_ ENOSPC (and in usermode linux
    it's even more: 30-60 seconds!). (Maybe, time depends on kernel's timer resolution).
    
    No IO, no CPU load, just rescheduling. Some debugging revealed busy spinning
    in shrink_delalloc.
