btrfs: reduce the preemptive flushing threshold to 90%
The preemptive flushing code was added in order to avoid needing to synchronously wait for ENOSPC flushing to recover space. Once we're almost full however we can essentially flush constantly. We were using 98% as a threshold to determine if we were simply full, however in practice this is a really high bar to hit. For example reports of systems running into this problem had around 94% usage and thus continued to flush. Fix this by lowering the threshold to 90%, which is a more sane value, especially for smaller file systems.
