Yeah. limiting at the caller seems much better than second guessing
later.  Below is a version of your patch with a couple random edits.
I wonder if we could now get rid of xfs_refcount_still_have_space
or at least turn it into warnings only..

Subject: xfs: try to avoid blowing out the transaction reservation when
 bunmaping a shared extent

In a pathological scenario where we are trying to bunmapi a single
extent in which every other block is shared, it's possible that trying
to unmap the entire large extent in a single transaction can generate so
many EFIs that we overflow the transaction reservation.

Therefore, use a heuristic to guess at the number of blocks we can
safely unmap from a reflink file's data fork in an single transaction.
This should prevent problems such as the log head slamming into the tail
and ASSERTs that trigger because we've exceeded the transaction
reservation.
