bcachefs: Change when we allow overwrites

Browse source 
Originally, we'd check for -ENOSPC when getting a disk reservation
whenever the new extent took up more space on disk than the old extent.

Erasure coding screwed this up, because with erasure coding writes are
initially replicated, and then in the background the extra replicas are
dropped when the stripe is created. This means that with erasure coding
enabled, writes will always take up more space on disk than the data
they're overwriting - but, according to posix, overwrites aren't
supposed to return ENOSPC.

So, in this patch we fudge things: if the new extent has more replicas
than the _effective_ replicas of the old extent, or if the old extent is
compressed and the new one isn't, we check for ENOSPC when getting the
disk reservation - otherwise, we don't.
