Btrfs: kill the block group alloc mutex
This patch removes the block group alloc mutex used to protect the free space tree for allocations and replaces it with a spin lock which is used only to protect the free space rb tree. This means we only take the lock when we are directly manipulating the tree, which makes us a touch faster with multi-threaded workloads. This patch also gets rid of btrfs_find_free_space and replaces it with btrfs_find_space_for_alloc, which takes the number of bytes you want to allocate, and empty_size, which is used to indicate how much free space should be at the end of the allocation. It will return an offset for the allocator to use. If we don't end up using it we _must_ call btrfs_add_free_space to put it back. This is the tradeoff to kill the alloc_mutex, since we need to make sure nobody else comes along and takes our space. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>
