When running generic/645 with ext4 using 64k block size + bigalloc, the test fails with ENOSPC because the filesystem runs out of inodes before the test completes. The test creates approximately 10,001 files, however, in this particular configuration a standard 5G FS only has around ~5100 inodes resulting in the ENOSPC failure. Add a check using _get_free_inode() to verify sufficient inodes are available before running the test, else skip it.
