Btrfs: fix deadlock with free space handling and user transactions

If an ioctl-initiated transaction is open, we can't force a commit during
the free space checks in order to free up pinned extents or else we
deadlock.  Just ENOSPC instead.

A more satisfying solution that reserves space for the entire user
transaction up front is forthcoming...
