A number of workloads do not require copy on write data or checksumming.
mount -o nodatasum to disable checksums and -o nodatacow to disable
both copy on write and checksumming.
In nodatacow mode, copy on write is still performed when a given extent
is under snapshot.

This patch adds a new parameter 'full_scan' to 'find_search_start',
thereby 'find_search_start' can know whether 'find_free_extent' is in
full scan phrase. I feel that 'find_search_start' should skip calling
'btrfs_find_block_group' when 'find_free_extent' is in full scan
phrase. In my test on a 2GB volume, Oops occurs when space usage is
about 76%. After apply the patch, Oops occurs when space usage is
near 100%.

This patch adds a helper function 'update_pinned_extents' to
extent-tree.c. The usage of the helper function is similar to
'update_block_group', the last parameter of the function indicates
pin vs unpin.

When pin_down_bytes decides not to pin a block because it was from the
current transaction, make sure the in memory cache of free extents is updated

find_free_extent would fail to wrap around to the start of the drive because
it was doing the enospc case checking twice in some cases, causing it
to return -ENOSPC early.

btrfs_btree_balance_dirty is changed to pass the number of pages dirtied
for more accurate dirty throttling. This lets the VM make better decisions
about when to force some writeback.

Cache block group was overly complex and missed free blocks at the very start
of the group. This patch simplifies things significantly.

This allows the tree walking code to defrag only the newly allocated
buffers, it seems to be a good balance between perfect defragging and the
performance hit of repeatedly reallocating blocks.

This adds two types of btree defrag, a run time form that tries to
defrag recently allocated blocks in the btree when they are still in ram,
and an ioctl that forces defrag of all btree blocks.
File data blocks are not defragged yet, but this can make a huge difference
in sequential btree reads.

Before, snapshot deletion was a single atomic unit. This caused considerable
lock contention and required an unbounded amount of space. Now,
the drop_progress field in the root item is used to indicate how far along
snapshot deletion is, and to resume where it left off.
