 *
 * nilfs_transaction_begin() acquires a reader/writer semaphore, called
 * the segment semaphore, to make a segment construction and write tasks
 * exclusive.  The function is used with nilfs_transaction_commit() in pairs.
 * The region enclosed by these two functions can be nested.  To avoid a
 * deadlock, the semaphore is only acquired or released in the outermost call.
 *
 * This function allocates a nilfs_transaction_info struct to keep context
 * information on it.  It is initialized and hooked onto the current task in
 * the outermost call.  If a pre-allocated struct is given to @ti, it is used
 * instead; otherwise a new struct is assigned from a slab.
 *
 * When @vacancy_check flag is set, this function will check the amount of
 * free space, and will wait for the GC to reclaim disk space if low capacity.
 *
 * Return Value: On success, 0 is returned. On error, one of the following
 * negative error code is returned.
 *
 * %-ENOMEM - Insufficient memory available.

 * %-ENOSPC - No space left on device
