 * This function tries to find a dirty logical eraseblock which has at least

 * or do not have an LEB which satisfies the @min_space criteria.
 *
 * Note, LEBs which have less than dead watermark of free + dirty space are
 * never picked by this function.
 *
 * The additional @pick_free argument controls if this function has to return a
 * free or freeable LEB if one is present. For example, GC must to set it to %1,
 * when called from the journal space reservation function, because the
 * appearance of free space may coincide with the loss of enough dirty space
 * for GC to succeed anyway.
 *
 * In contrast, if the Garbage Collector is called from budgeting, it should
 * just make free space, not return LEBs which are already free or freeable.
 *
 * In addition @pick_free is set to %2 by the recovery process in order to
 * recover gc_lnum in which case an index LEB must not be returned.
 *
 * This function returns zero and the LEB properties of found dirty LEB in case
 * of success, %-ENOSPC if no dirty LEB was found and a negative error code in
 * case of other failures. The returned LEB is marked as "taken".
