I found it while trying to reproduce the bug fixed by the patch ocfs2: avoid 
direct write if we fall back to buffered.
In my case, just run fsstress on a single node, and when the ocfs2 partition 
is out of space, ocfs2_add_inode_data will return -ENOSPC and then will 
trigger the error in ocfs2_query_inode_wipe
