Chris Mason 6dddcbeb28 Btrfs: Use mutex_lock_nested for tree locking
Lockdep has the notion of locking subclasses so that you can identify
locks you expect to be taken after other locks of the same class.  This
changes the per-extent buffer btree locking routines to use a subclass based
on the level in the tree.

Unfortunately, lockdep can only handle 8 total subclasses, and the btrfs
max level is also 8.  So when lockdep is on, use a lower max level.

Chris Mason a61e6f29dc Btrfs: Use a mutex in the extent buffer for tree block locking
This replaces the use of the page cache lock bit for locking, which wasn't
suitable for block size < page size and couldn't be used recursively.

The mutexes alone don't fix either problem, but they are the first step.

Chris Mason f9efa9c784 Btrfs: Reduce contention on the root node
This calls unlock_up sooner in btrfs_search_slot in order to decrease the
amount of work done with the higher level tree locks held.

Also, it changes btrfs_tree_lock to spin for a big against the page lock
before scheduling.  This makes a big difference in context switch rate under
highly contended workloads.

Longer term, a better locking structure is needed than the page lock.

Chris Mason 925baeddc5 Btrfs: Start btree concurrency work.
The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own
dedicated mutexes.  This means allocation location is still not very
fine grained.

The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree.  Locks
are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the
tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level.

The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level
is locked.  Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held.
