btrfs: defer adding raid type kobject until after chunk relocation
Any time the first block group of a new type is created, we add a new
kobject to sysfs to hold the attributes for that type. Kobject-internal
allocations always use GFP_KERNEL, making them prone to fs-reclaim races.
While it appears as if this can occur any time a block group is created,
the only times the first block group of a new type can be created in
memory is at mount and when we create the first new block group during
raid conversion.
This patch adds a new list to track pending kobject additions and then
handles them after we do chunk relocation. Between relocating the
target chunk (or forcing allocation of a new chunk in the case of data)
and removing the old chunk, we're in a safe place for fs-reclaim to
occur. We're holding the volume mutex, which is already held across
page faults, and the delete_unused_bgs_mutex, which will only stall
the cleaner thread.
