Nowadays even for VM, the memory size should start from 2G.
If this 256M is causing problem, one should really re-consider the
memory size of the VM.

Not to mention the magic number is two ensure we have at least 2 file
extents.

And we should add some comment about this.

Personally I prefer some comment with this and also use (2 *
BTRFS_MAX_EXTENT_SIZE) other than this intermediate number.
