It turned out that the problem was the following:

Before Ubuntu version upgrade starts, a btrfs snapshot is created. The
user is, however, not notified. Free space is counted incorrectly, which
means that even when there's no space on the filesystem, the user is
informed about a lot of free space. Deletion of the oldest automatically
created snapshot solved the problem.

Not sure what to do with this bug (probably close), but the problem lies
in:

* user not informed about snapshot creation
* btrfs not showing free spaces correctly
