xfs: refactor xfs_reserve_blocks() to handle ENOSPC correctly

xfs_reserve_blocks() is responsible to update the XFS reserved block
pool count at mount time or based on user request. When the caller
requests to increase the reserve pool, blocks must be allocated from
the global counters such that they are no longer available for
general purpose use. If the requested reserve pool size is too
large, XFS reserves what blocks are available. The implementation
requires looking at the percpu counters and making an educated guess
as to how many blocks to try and allocate from xfs_mod_fdblocks(),
which can return -ENOSPC if the guess was not accurate due to
counters being modified in parallel.

xfs_reserve_blocks() retries the guess in this scenario until the
allocation succeeds or it is determined that there is no space
available in the fs. While not easily reproducible in the current
form, the retry code doesn't actually work correctly if
xfs_mod_fdblocks() actually fails. The problem is that the percpu
calculations use the m_resblks counter to determine how many blocks
to allocate, but unconditionally update m_resblks before the block
allocation has actually succeeded.  Therefore, if xfs_mod_fdblocks()
fails, the code jumps to the retry label and uses the already
updated m_resblks value to determine how many blocks to try and
allocate. If the percpu counters previously suggested that the
entire request was available, fdblocks_delta could end up set to 0.
In that case, m_resblks is updated to the requested value, yet no
blocks have been reserved at all.

Refactor xfs_reserve_blocks() to use an explicit loop and make the
code easier to follow. Since we have to drop the spinlock across the
xfs_mod_fdblocks() call, use a delta value for m_resblks as well and
only apply the delta once allocation succeeds.
