Sometimes we end up freeing a reserved extent because we don't need it, however
this means that its possible for transaction->last_alloc to point to the middle
of a free area.
When we search for free space in find_free_space we do a tree_search_offset
with contains set to 0, because we want it to find the next best free area if
we do not have an offset starting on the given offset.
Unfortunately that currently means that if the offset we were given as a hint
points to the middle of a free area, we won't find anything. This is especially
bad if we happened to last allocate from the big huge chunk of a newly formed
block group, since we won't find anything and have to go back and search the
long way around.
This fixes this problem by making it so that we return the free space area
regardless of the contains variable. This made cache missing happen _alot_
less, and speeds things up considerably.

After a crash, the tree log code uses btrfs_alloc_logged_extent to
record allocations of data extents that it finds in the log tree. These
come in basically random order, which does not fit how
btrfs_remove_free_space() expects to be called.
btrfs_remove_free_space was changed to support recording an extent
allocation in the middle of a region of free space.

1) replace the per fs_info extent_io_tree that tracked free space with two
rb-trees per block group to track free space areas via offset and size. The
reason to do this is because most allocations come with a hint byte where to
start, so we can usually find a chunk of free space at that hint byte to satisfy
the allocation and get good space packing. If we cannot find free space at or
after the given offset we fall back on looking for a chunk of the given size as
close to that given offset as possible. When we fall back on the size search we
also try to find a slot as close to the size we want as possible, to avoid
breaking small chunks off of huge areas if possible.
2) remove the extent_io_tree that tracked the block group cache from fs_info and
replaced it with an rb-tree thats tracks block group cache via offset. also
added a per space_info list that tracks the block group cache for the particular
space so we can lookup related block groups easily.
3) cleaned up the allocation code to make it a little easier to read and a
little less complicated. Basically there are 3 steps, first look from our
provided hint. If we couldn't find from that given hint, start back at our
original search start and look for space from there. If that fails try to
allocate space if we can and start looking again. If not we're screwed and need
to start over again.
4) small fixes. there were some issues in volumes.c where we wouldn't allocate
the rest of the disk. fixed cow_file_range to actually pass the alloc_hint,
which has helped a good bit in making the fs_mark test I run have semi-normal
results as we run out of space. Generally with data allocations we don't track
where we last allocated from, so everytime we did a data allocation we'd search
through every block group that we have looking for free space. Now searching a
block group with no free space isn't terribly time consuming, it was causing a
slight degradation as we got more data block groups. The alloc_hint has fixed
this slight degredation and made things semi-normal.
There is still one nagging problem I'm working on where we will get ENOSPC when
there is definitely plenty of space. This only happens with metadata
allocations, and only when we are almost full. So you generally hit the 85%
mark first, but sometimes you'll hit the BUG before you hit the 85% wall. I'm
still tracking it down, but until then this seems to be pretty stable and make a
significant performance gain.
