[XFS] Restore the lowspace extent allocator algorithm 

When free space is running low the extent allocator may choose to allocate
an extent from an AG without leaving sufficient space for a btree split
when inserting the new extent (see where xfs_bmap_btalloc() sets minleft
to 0). In this case the allocator will enable the lowspace algorithm which
is supposed to allow further allocations (such as btree splits and
newroots) to allocate from sequential AGs. This algorithm has been broken
for a long time and this patch restores its behaviour.
