I saw a lockup where we kept getting into this start transaction->commit
transaction loop because of enospce. The fact is if we fail to make our
reservation, we've tried _everything_ several times, so we only need to try and
commit the transaction once, and if that doesn't work then we really are out of
space and need to just exit. Thanks,
