Btrfs: fix ioctl-initiated transactions vs wait_current_trans()

Commit 597:466b27332893 (btrfs_start_transaction: wait for commits in
progress) breaks the transaction start/stop ioctls by making
btrfs_start_transaction conditionally wait for the next transaction to
start.  If an application artificially is holding a transaction open,
things deadlock.

This workaround maintains a count of open ioctl-initiated transactions in
fs_info, and avoids wait_current_trans() if any are currently open (in
start_transaction() and btrfs_throttle()).  The start transaction ioctl
uses a new btrfs_start_ioctl_transaction() that _does_ call
wait_current_trans(), effectively pushing the join/wait decision to the
outer ioctl-initiated transaction.

This more or less neuters btrfs_throttle() when ioctl-initiated
transactions are in use, but that seems like a pretty fundamental
consequence of wrapping lots of write()'s in a transaction.  Btrfs has no
way to tell if the application considers a given operation as part of it's
transaction.

Obviously, if the transaction start/stop ioctls aren't being used, there
is no effect on current behavior.
