Bug Description
[ Impact ]
* Users experience SEGFAULTs when Ganesha fails to communicate with Gluster, causing the NFS share to disappear.
* The patch refactors how free_space() is called to avoid the null pointer deference.
[ Test Plan ]
* I experienced crashes about once per day on volumes with heavy large file random access. I've been running the proposed patch since 2024-05-16 and haven't experienced a single crash.
* The test plan is to run the packages from proposed for at least 5 days, under the same load as when the bug happened, and confirm that the crashes reported in this bug no longer happen.

My initial patch missed a line from the original commit (which doesn't cleanly apply to v4.3). I've fixed the patch and it resolves the issue.
