ubifs: Queue up space reservation tasks if retrying many times

Browse Source 
Recently we catched ENOSPC returned by make_reservation() while doing
fsstress on UBIFS, we got following information when it occurred (See
details in Link):

 UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 3640152): make_reservation [ubifs]: cannot

 OTHERS: index lebs, zero-available non-index lebs

According to the budget algorithm, there are 5 LEBs reserved for budget:
three journal heads(16,23,34), 1 GC LEB(21) and 1 deletion LEB(can be
used in make_reservation()). There are 2 empty LEBs used for index nodes,
which is calculated as min_idx_lebs - idx_lebs = 2. In theory, LEB 15
and 33 should be reclaimed as free state after committing, but it is now
in taken state. After looking the realization of reserve_space(), there's
a possible situation:

LEB 15: free 2000 dirty 248000 used 3952 (jhead 2)
LEB 23: free 2000 dirty 248104 used 3848 (bud, taken)
LEB 33: free 2000 dirty 251952 used 0    (bud, taken)

Fetch a reproducer in Link.

The dirty LEBs could be grabbed by other threads, which fails finding dirty
LEBs of GC in current thread, so make_reservation() could try many times to
invoke GC&&committing, but current realization limits the times of retrying
as 'nospc_retries'(twice).
Fix it by adding a wait queue, start queuing up space reservation tasks
when someone task has retried gc + commit for many times. Then there is
only one task making space reservation at any time, and it can always make
success under the premise of correct budgeting.
