When duplicate copies exist, writes are allowed to fail to one of those
copies. This changeset includes a few changes that allow the FS to
continue even when some IOs fail.
It also adds verification of the parent generation number for btree blocks.
This generation is stored in the pointer to a block, and it ensures
that missed writes to are detected.

The btree inode should only have a single extent_map in the cache,
it doesn't make sense to ever drop it.

This allows checksumming to happen in parallel among many cpus, and
keeps us from bogging down pdflush with the checksumming code.

Before, metadata checksumming was done by the callers of read_tree_block,
which would set EXTENT_CSUM bits in the extent tree to show that a given
range of pages was already checksummed and didn't need to be verified
again.
But, those bits could go away via try_to_releasepage, and the end
result was bogus checksum failures on pages that never left the cache.
The new code validates checksums when the page is read. It is a little
tricky because metadata blocks can span pages and a single read may
end up going via multiple bios.

When we checkum file data during writepage, the checksumming is done one
page at a time, making it difficult to do bulk metadata modifications
to insert checksums for large ranges of the file at once.
This patch changes btrfs to checksum on a per-bio basis instead. The
bios are checksummed before they are handed off to the block layer, so
each bio is contiguous and only has pages from the same inode.
Checksumming on a bio basis allows us to insert and modify the file
checksum items in large groups. It also allows the checksumming to
be done more easily by async worker threads.

Reduce CPU time searching for free blocks by optimizing find_first_extent_bit
Fix find_free_extent to make better use of the last_alloc hint. Before it
was often finding blocks just before the hint.

The end_bio routines are changed to take a pointer to the extent state
struct, and the state tree is walked in order to set/clear appropriate
bits as IO completes. This greatly reduces the number of rbtree searches
done by the end_bio handlers, and reduces lock contention.
The extent_io releasepage function is changed to avoid expensive searches
for locked state.

There is now extent_map for mapping offsets in the file to disk and
extent_io for state tracking, IO submission and extent_bufers.
The new extent_map code shifts from [start,end] pairs to [start,len], and
pushes the locking out into the caller. This allows a few performance
optimizations and is easier to use.
A number of extent_map usage bugs were fixed, mostly with failing
to remove extent_map entries when changing the file.
