Btrfs: fix possible softlockup in the allocator

Browse Source 
Like the cluster allocating stuff, we can lockup the box with the normal
allocation path.  This happens when we

1) Start to cache a block group that is severely fragmented, but has a decent
amount of free space.
2) Start to commit a transaction
3) Have the commit try and empty out some of the delalloc inodes with extents
that are relatively large.

The inodes will not be able to make the allocations because they will ask for
allocations larger than a contiguous area in the free space cache.  So we will
wait for more progress to be made on the block group, but since we're in a
commit the caching kthread won't make any more progress and it already has
enough free space that wait_block_group_cache_progress will just return.  So,
if we wait and fail to make the allocation the next time around, just loop and
go to the next block group.  This keeps us from getting stuck in a softlockup.
Thanks,
