deleting files when no disk space is available

[Tomohiro Kusumi]

If you're using hammer, rm file isn't deleting anything from your
filesystem capacity.

But aside from the fact rm isn't deleting anything, I think there is a
bug in ENOSPC handling.
I've once saw kernel panic soon after hitting ENOSPC.
