When bigalloc and delalloc are enabled, some stress tests (e.g. xfstest #13)
will trigger this warning because all metadata reserved spaces will be released
after dirty pages are written out.  But we still needs to allocate one block,
such as growing the extent tree.  So *DO NOT* release these metadata blocks when
bigalloc and delaloc are enabled.
