    btrfs: Remove unused btrfs_start_transaction_lflush function · 7806c6eb

    Commit 0e8c36a9 ("Btrfs: fix lots of orphan inodes when the space
    is not enough") changed the way transaction reservation is made in
    btrfs_evict_node and as a result this function became unused. This has
    been the status quo for 5 years in which time no one noticed, so I'd
    say it's safe to assume it's unlikely it will ever be used again.
    
    Historical note: there were more attempts to remove the function, the
    reasoning was missing and only based on some static analysis tool
    reports. Other reason for rejection was that there seemed to be
    connection to BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT and that would need to be
    removeed to. This was not correct so removing the function is all we can
    do.
