Before it was done by the bio end_io routine, the work queue code is able
to scale much better with faster IO subsystems.

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.

Checksums were only verified by btrfs_read_tree_block, which meant the
functions to probe the page cache for blocks were not validating checksums.
Normally this is fine because the buffers will only be in cache if they
have already been validated.
But, there is a window while the buffer is being read from disk where
it could be up to date in the cache but not yet verified. This patch
makes sure all buffers go through checksum verification before they
are used.
This is safer, and it prevents modification of buffers before they go
through the csum code.

This allows detection of blocks that have already been written in the
running transaction so they can be recowed instead of modified again.
It is step one in trusting the transid field of the block pointers.

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.
