Btrfs: fix regression when running delayed references
In the kernel 4.2 merge window we had a refactoring/rework of the delayed
references implementation in order to fix certain problems with qgroups.
However that rework introduced one more regression that leads to the
following trace when running delayed references for metadata:

[35908.310885] ---[ end trace fe4299baf0666457 ]---
This happens because the new delayed references code no longer merges
delayed references that have different sequence values. The following
steps are an example sequence leading to this issue:
1) Transaction N starts, fs_info->tree_mod_seq has value 0;
2) Extent buffer (btree node) A is allocated, delayed reference Ref1 for
bytenr A is created, with a value of 1 and a seq value of 0;
3) fs_info->tree_mod_seq is incremented to 1;
4) Extent buffer A is deleted through btrfs_del_items(), which calls
btrfs_del_leaf(), which in turn calls btrfs_free_tree_block(). The
later returns the metadata extent associated to extent buffer A to
the free space cache (the range is not pinned), because the extent
buffer was created in the current transaction (N) and writeback never
happened for the extent buffer (flag BTRFS_HEADER_FLAG_WRITTEN not set
in the extent buffer).
This creates the delayed reference Ref2 for bytenr A, with a value
of -1 and a seq value of 1;
5) Delayed reference Ref2 is not merged with Ref1 when we create it,
because they have different sequence numbers (decided at
add_delayed_ref_tail_merge());
6) fs_info->tree_mod_seq is incremented to 2;
7) Some task attempts to allocate a new extent buffer (done at
extent-tree.c:find_free_extent()), but due to heavy fragmentation
and running low on metadata space the clustered allocation fails
and we fall back to unclustered allocation, which finds the
extent at offset A, so a new extent buffer at offset A is allocated.
This creates delayed reference Ref3 for bytenr A, with a value of 1
and a seq value of 2;
8) Ref3 is not merged neither with Ref2 nor Ref1, again because they
all have different seq values;
9) We start running the delayed references (__btrfs_run_delayed_refs());
10) The delayed Ref1 is the first one being applied, which ends up
creating an inline extent backref in the extent tree;
10) Next the delayed reference Ref3 is selected for execution, and not
Ref2, because select_delayed_ref() always gives a preference for
positive references (that have an action of BTRFS_ADD_DELAYED_REF);
11) When running Ref3 we encounter alreay the inline extent backref
in the extent tree at insert_inline_extent_backref(), which makes
us hit the following BUG_ON:
BUG_ON(owner < BTRFS_FIRST_FREE_OBJECTID);
This is always true because owner corresponds to the level of the
extent buffer/btree node in the btree.
For the scenario described above we hit the BUG_ON because we never merge
references that have different seq values.
We used to do the merging before the 4.2 kernel, more specifically, before
the commmits:
c6fc24549960 ("btrfs: delayed-ref: Use list to replace the ref_root in ref_head.")
c43d160fcd5e ("btrfs: delayed-ref: Cleanup the unneeded functions.")
This issue became more exposed after the following change that was added
to 4.2 as well:
cffc3374e567 ("Btrfs: fix order by which delayed references are run")
Which in turn fixed another regression by the two commits previously
mentioned.
So fix this by bringing back the delayed reference merge code, with the
proper adaptations so that it operates against the new data structure
(linked list vs old red black tree implementation).
This issue was hit running fstest btrfs/063 in a loop. Several people have
reported this issue in the mailing list when running on kernels 4.2+.
Very special thanks to Stéphane Lesimple for helping debugging this issue
and testing this fix on his multi terabyte filesystem (which took more
than one day to balance alone, plus fsck, etc).
