[ Upstream commit d05466b27b19af8e148376590ed54d289b607f0a ]
When ext4 is running on a filesystem without a journal, it tries not to reuse recently deleted inodes to provide better chances for filesystem recovery in case of crash. However this logic forbids reuse of freed inodes for up to 5 minutes and especially for filesystems with smaller number of inodes can lead to ENOSPC errors returned when allocating new inodes.
Fix the problem by allowing to reuse recently deleted inode if there's no other inode free in the scanned range.
