[PATCH 3/4] btrfs: handle ENOMEM from btrfs_insert_dir_item() without aborting

[Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>]

Now that btrfs_insert_dir_item() returns -ENOMEM before modifying the
btree (thanks to delayed dir index pre-allocation), callers can handle
ENOMEM gracefully instead of aborting the transaction.

In btrfs_add_link(), add -ENOMEM to the set of recoverable errors
alongside -EEXIST and -EOVERFLOW. The fail_dir_item cleanup path
unwinds the inode_ref/root_ref and returns the error to userspace.

In btrfs_create_new_inode(), when btrfs_add_link() fails with -ENOMEM,
convert the newly-created inode into an orphan instead of aborting.
This is done by clearing nlink and adding an orphan item, which ensures
btrfs_evict_inode() will delete the INODE_ITEM and INODE_REF, and
crash-recovery will clean it up via orphan processing. If
btrfs_orphan_add() itself fails, we fall back to aborting.

This turns a filesystem-killing transaction abort into a graceful
-ENOMEM return to userspace for create(), mkdir(), mknod(), symlink(),
and link() operations under memory pressure.
