do_chunk_alloc implements logic to detect whether there is currently
pending chunk allocation (by means of space_info->chunk_alloc being
set) and if so it loops around to the 'again' label. Additionally,
based on the state of the space_info (e.g. whether it's full or not)
and the return value of should_alloc_chunk() it decides whether this
is a "hard" error (ENOSPC) or we can just return 0.
This patch refactors all of this:
1. Put order to the scattered ifs handling the various cases in an
easy-to-read if {} else if{} branches. This makes clear the various
cases we are interested in handling.
2. Call should_alloc_chunk only once and use the result in the
if/else if constructs. All of this is done under space_info->lock, so
even before multiple calls of should_alloc_chunk were unnecessary.
3. Rewrite the "do {} while()" loop currently implemented via label
into an explicit loop construct.
4. Move the mutex locking for the case where the caller is the one doing
the allocation. For the case where the caller needs to wait a concurrent
allocation, introduce a pair of mutex_lock/mutex_unlock to act as a
barrier and reword the comment.
5. Switch local vars to bool type where pertinent.
All in all this shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
