btrfs: retry block group reclaim without infinite loop


commit 4eb4e85c upstream.

If inc_block_group_ro systematically fails (e.g. due to ETXTBUSY from
swap) or btrfs_relocate_chunk systematically fails (from lack of
space), then this worker becomes an infinite loop.

At the very least, this strands the cleaner thread, but can also result
in hung tasks/RCU stalls on PREEMPT_NONE kernels and if the
reclaim_bgs_lock mutex is not contended.

I believe the best long term fix is to manage reclaim via work queue,
where we queue up a relocation on the triggering condition and re-queue
on failure. In the meantime, this is an easy fix to apply to avoid the
immediate pain.
