Btrfs: fix race between writing free space cache and trimming
Trimming is completely transactionless, and the way it operates consists
of hiding free space entries from a block group, perform the trim/discard
and then make the free space entries visible again.
Therefore while a free space entry is being trimmed, we can have free space
cache writing running in parallel (as part of a transaction commit) which
will miss the free space entry. This means that an unmount (or crash/reboot)
after that transaction commit and mount again before another transaction
starts/commits after the discard finishes, we will have some free space
that won't be used again unless the free space cache is rebuilt. After the
unmount, fsck (btrfsck, btrfs check) reports the issue like the following
example:
*** fsck.btrfs output ***
checking extents
checking free space cache
There is no free space entry for 521764864-521781248
There is no free space entry for 521764864-1103101952
cache appears valid but isnt 29360128
Checking filesystem on /dev/sdc
UUID: b4789e27-4774-4626-98e9-ae8dfbfb0fb5
found 1235681286 bytes used err is -22
(...)
Another issue caused by this race is a crash while writing bitmap entries
to the cache, because while the cache writeout task accesses the bitmaps,
the trim task can be concurrently modifying the bitmap or worse might
be freeing the bitmap. The later case results in the following crash:

Fix this by serializing both tasks in such a way that cache writeout
doesn't wait for the trim/discard of free space entries to finish and
doesn't miss any free space entry.
