btrfs: make the chunk allocator utilize the devices better
With this patch, we change the handling method when we can not get enough free
extents with default size.
Implementation:
1. Look up the suitable free extent on each device and keep the search result.
If not find a suitable free extent, keep the max free extent
2. If we get enough suitable free extents with default size, chunk allocation
succeeds.
3. If we can not get enough free extents, but the number of the extent with
default size is >= min_stripes, we just change the mapping information
(reduce the number of stripes in the extent map), and chunk allocation
succeeds.
4. If the number of the extent with default size is < min_stripes, sort the
devices by its max free extent's size descending
5. Use the size of the max free extent on the (num_stripes - 1)th device as the
stripe size to allocate the device space
By this way, the chunk allocator can allocate chunks as large as possible when
the devices' space is not enough and make full use of the devices.
