If a realtime allocation fails because we can't find a sufficiently large free extent satisfying locality rules, relax the locality rules and try again. This reduces the occurrence of short writes to realtime files when the write size is large and the free space is fragmented. This was originally discovered by running generic/186 with the realtime reflink patchset and a 128k cow extent size hint, but the short write symptoms can manifest with a 128k extent size hint and no reflink, so apply the fix now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
