bcachefs checks for journal stuck conditions both in the journal
space calculation code and the journal reservation slow path. The
logic in both places is rather tricky and can result in
non-deterministic failure characteristics and debug output.

In preparation to condense journal stuck handling to a single place,
refactor the __journal_res_get() logic into a standalone helper.
Since multiple callers into the reservation code can result in
duplicate reports, use the ->err_seq field as a serialization
mechanism for the debug dump. Finally, add some comments to help
explain the logic and hopefully facilitate further improvements in
the future.
