Btrfs: kill trans_mutex

We use trans_mutex for lots of things, here's a basic list

1) To serialize trans_handles joining the currently running transaction
2) To make sure that no new trans handles are started while we are committing
3) To protect the dead_roots list and the transaction lists

Really the serializing trans_handles joining is not too hard, and can really get
bogged down in acquiring a reference to the transaction.  So replace the
trans_mutex with a trans_lock spinlock and use it to do the following

1) Protect fs_info->running_transaction.  All trans handles have to do is check
this, and then take a reference of the transaction and keep on going.
2) Protect the fs_info->trans_list.  This doesn't get used too much, basically
it just holds the current transactions, which will usually just be the currently
committing transaction and the currently running transaction at most.
3) Protect the dead roots list.  This is only ever processed by splicing the
list so this is relatively simple.
4) Protect the fs_info->reloc_ctl stuff.  This is very lightweight and was using
the trans_mutex before, so this is a pretty straightforward change.
5) Protect fs_info->no_trans_join.  Because we don't hold the trans_lock over
the entirety of the commit we need to have a way to block new people from
creating a new transaction while we're doing our work.  So we set no_trans_join
and in join_transaction we test to see if that is set, and if it is we do a
wait_on_commit.
6) Make the transaction use count atomic so we don't need to take locks to
modify it when we're dropping references.
7) Add a commit_lock to the transaction to make sure multiple people trying to
commit the same transaction don't race and commit at the same time.
8) Make open_ioctl_trans an atomic so we don't have to take any locks for ioctl
trans.

I have tested this with xfstests, but obviously it is a pretty hairy change so
lots of testing is greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
