When we start the LSA reclamation it can be that
segment_pool::_free_segments is 0 under some conditions and
segment_pool::_current_emergency_reserve_goal is set to 1. The
reclamation step is 1 segment, and compact_and_evict_locked() frees 1
segment back into the segment_pool. However,
segment_pool::reclaim_segments() doesn't free anything to the standard
allocator because the condition _free_segments >
_current_emergency_reserve_goal is false. As a result,
tracker::impl::reclaim() returns 0 as the amount of released memory,
tracker::reclaim() returns
memory::reclaiming_result::reclaimed_nothing and the seastar allocator
thinks it's a real OOM and throws std::bad_alloc.
The fix is to change compact_and_evict() to make sure that reserves
are met, by releasing more if they're not met at entry.
This change also allows us to drop the variant of allocate_segment()
which accepts the reclamation step as a means to refill reserves
faster. This is now not needed, because compact_and_evict() will look
at the reserve deficit to increase the amount of memory to reclaim.
