 * nilfs_transaction_begin() acquires a reader/writer semaphore, called

 * 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.
