[PATCH] btrfs: wait between incomplete batch allocations

From: Sweet Tea Dorminy
Date: Wed Apr 06 2022 - 22:28:06 EST


When allocating memory in a loop, each iteration should call
memalloc_retry_wait() in order to prevent starving memory-freeing
processes (and to mark where allcoation loops are). ext4, f2fs, and xfs
all use this function at present for their allocation loops; btrfs ought
also.

The bulk page allocation is the only place in btrfs with an allocation
retry loop, so add an appropriate call to it.
