[LU-6910] Configurable values for OST reserved size

Description

osp_pre_status=-ENOSPC is used to skip OST from object allocation. The error was set when OST available space is less than 0.1% of total OST size. This value is not configurable. For many cases 0.1% is too low, because append works for existing files. So, procfs files was added for configuration.

This also fixed a couple of bugs in the handling of nearly full OSTs.

Landed for 2.8

Alexander, could you please resubmit your patch once you have fixed the two test failures (LU-7550 and LU-7552. To run those tests multiple times to get a good confidence about the fix, you should use:

Test-Parameters: testlist=sanity,sanity,sanity,sanity,sanity,sanity
Test-Parameters: testlist=sanity,sanity,sanity,sanity,sanity,sanity

To run a bunch of tests and two sets in parallel so it doesn't take so long.

There was also a code late review comment internally that returning -ENOSPC from ->statfs() is probably not the right thing, because this may cause unexpected errors if the caller just wants to know the space usage. Instead, it should set OS_STATE_ENOSPC or OS_STATE_ENOINO in the os_state field and the caller should check that. Having two separate flags also avoids the need to guess what the -ENOSPC error is for.

[Andreas Dilger]

It looks like the last few comments posted in LU-7550 after the patch was reverted should resolve the failure seen there when the patch is resubmitted:

diff --git a/lustre/tests/sanity.sh b/lustre/tests/sanity.sh

As yet the LU-7552 problem has not been fixed.
