* make_free_space - make more free space on the file-system.

* o budgeting is pessimistic, so it always budgets more than it is actually
* needed, so shrinking the liability is one way to make free space - the
* cached data will take less space then it was budgeted for;
* o GC may turn some dark space into free space (budgeting treats dark space
* as not available);
* o commit may free some LEB, i.e., turn freeable LEBs into free LEBs.
*
* So this function tries to do the above. Returns %-EAGAIN if some free space
* was presumably made and the caller has to re-try budgeting the operation.
* Returns %-ENOSPC if it couldn't do more free space, and other negative error
* codes on failures.
