We don't have enough credits and return EBUSY here...

...so we set rc to -EBUSY...

and then ctx->rc is set to -EBUSY too.

In case of a blocking read we will return -EBUSY to the caller but
read man page doesn't say anything about a possibility to return this
error code. Is it being mapped somehow by VFS or is there another
consideration? The same question applies to the write patch as well.
