But indeed it's wrong, we should not rely on local variable's address to
do this check, because addresses may be same. In my test environment, I
dd one 168MB file in a 256MB fs, found that for this file, every time
wait_reserve_ticket() called, local variable ticket's address is same,
For above codes, assume a previous ticket's address is addrA, last_ticket
is addrA. Btrfs_async_reclaim_metadata_space() finished this ticket and
wake up it, then another ticket is added, but with the same address addrA,
now last_ticket will be same to current ticket, then current ticket's flush
work will start from current flush_state, not initial FLUSH_DELAYED_ITEMS_NR,
which may result in some enospc issues(I have seen this in my test machine).

We want to track the progress of the individual tickets, not whether or not we
make progress on the space_info, so instead store the global ticket id in
space_info and store the individual ticket_id in the ticket itself, and use that
as the last_tickets_id. Thanks,
Josef
