btrfs: increase the metadata allowance for the free_space_cache
Currently, there is no way for the free space cache to recover from being serviced by purely bitmaps because the extent threshold is set to 0 in recalculate_thresholds() when we surpass the metadata allowance. This adds a recovery mechanism by keeping large extents out of the bitmaps and increases the metadata upper bound to 64KB. The recovery mechanism bypasses this upper bound, thus making it a soft upper bound. But, with the bypass being 1MB or greater, it shouldn't add unbounded overhead.
