btrfs: retry block group reclaim without infinite loop
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.
