 *
 * 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.
 *

 * 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
