Below test scripts can reproduce this false ENOSPC:
#!/bin/bash
dd if=/dev/zero of=fs.img bs=$((1024*1024)) count=128
dev=$(losetup --show -f fs.img)
mkfs.btrfs -f -M $dev
mkdir /tmp/mntpoint
mount /dev/loop0 /tmp/mntpoint
cd mntpoint
xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 $((40*1024*1024))" testfile
Above fallocate(2) operation will fail for ENOSPC reason, but indeed
fs still has free space to satisfy this request. The reason is
btrfs_fallocate() dose not decrease btrfs_space_info's bytes_may_use
just in time, and it calls btrfs_free_reserved_data_space_noquota() in
the end of btrfs_fallocate(), which is too late and have already added
false unnecessary pressure to enospc system. See call graph:
btrfs_fallocate()
|-> btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand()
It will add btrfs_space_info's bytes_may_use accordingly.
|-> btrfs_prealloc_file_range()
It will call btrfs_reserve_extent(), but note that alloc type is
RESERVE_ALLOC_NO_ACCOUNT, so btrfs_update_reserved_bytes() will
only increase btrfs_space_info's bytes_reserved accordingly, but
will not decrease btrfs_space_info's bytes_may_use, then obviously
we have overestimated real needed disk space, and it'll impact
other processes who do write(2) or fallocate(2) operations, also
can impact metadata reservation in mixed mode, and bytes_max_use
will only be decreased in the end of btrfs_fallocate(). To fix
this false ENOSPC, we need to decrease btrfs_space_info's
bytes_may_use in btrfs_prealloc_file_range() in time, as what we
do in cow_file_range(),
See call graph in :
cow_file_range()
|-> extent_clear_unlock_delalloc()
|-> clear_extent_bit()
|-> btrfs_clear_bit_hook()
|-> btrfs_free_reserved_data_space_noquota()
This function will decrease bytes_may_use accordingly.
So this patch choose to call btrfs_free_reserved_data_space() in
__btrfs_prealloc_file_range() for both successful and failed path.
Also this patch removes some old and useless comments.

Verified that the reproducer script indeed fails (with btrfs ~4.7) and
the patch (on top of 1/2) fixes it. Also ran a bunch of other fallocating
things without problem. Free space also still seems sane, as far as I
could tell.
So for both patches:

Thanks very much :)
