btrfs: avoid double search for block group during NOCOW writes

When doing a NOCOW write, either through direct IO or buffered IO, we do
two lookups for the block group that contains the target extent: once
when we call btrfs_inc_nocow_writers() and then later again when we call
btrfs_dec_nocow_writers() after creating the ordered extent.

The lookups require taking a lock and navigating the red black tree used
to track all block groups, which can take a non-negligible amount of time
for a large filesystem with thousands of block groups, as well as lock
contention and cache line bouncing.

Improve on this by having a single block group search: making
btrfs_inc_nocow_writers() return the block group to its caller and then
have the caller pass that block group to btrfs_dec_nocow_writers().

This is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:

  btrfs: remove search start argument from first_logical_byte()
  btrfs: use rbtree with leftmost node cached for tracking lowest block group
  btrfs: use a read/write lock for protecting the block groups tree
  btrfs: return block group directly at btrfs_next_block_group()
  btrfs: avoid double search for block group during NOCOW writes

The following test was used to test these changes from a performance
perspective:

   $ cat test.sh
   #!/bin/bash

   modprobe null_blk nr_devices=0

   NULL_DEV_PATH=/sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0
   mkdir $NULL_DEV_PATH
   if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
       echo "Failed to create nullb0 directory."
       exit 1
   fi
   echo 2 > $NULL_DEV_PATH/submit_queues
   echo 16384 > $NULL_DEV_PATH/size # 16G
   echo 1 > $NULL_DEV_PATH/memory_backed
   echo 1 > $NULL_DEV_PATH/power

   DEV=/dev/nullb0
   MNT=/mnt/nullb0
   LOOP_MNT="$MNT/loop"
   MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o nodatacow"
   MKFS_OPTIONS="-R free-space-tree -O no-holes"

   cat <<EOF > /tmp/fio-job.ini

   fallocate=posix
   group_reporting=1
   direct=1

   runtime=300
   time_based
   directory=$LOOP_MNT
   numjobs=8
   thread
   EOF

   echo performance | \
       tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

   echo
   echo "Using config:"
   echo
   cat /tmp/fio-job.ini
   echo

   umount $MNT &> /dev/null
   mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV &> /dev/null
   mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT

   mkdir $LOOP_MNT

   truncate -s 4T $MNT/loopfile
   mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $MNT/loopfile &> /dev/null
   mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $MNT/loopfile $LOOP_MNT

   # Trigger the allocation of about 3500 data block groups, without
   # actually consuming space on underlying filesystem, just to make
   # the tree of block group large.
   fallocate -l 3500G $LOOP_MNT/filler

   fio /tmp/fio-job.ini

   umount $LOOP_MNT
   umount $MNT

   echo 0 > $NULL_DEV_PATH/power
   rmdir $NULL_DEV_PATH

The test was run on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config),
the result were the following.

Before patchset:

  WRITE: bw=1455MiB/s (1526MB/s), 1455MiB/s-1455MiB/s (1526MB/s-1526MB/s), io=426GiB (458GB), run=300006-300006msec

After patchset:

  WRITE: bw=1503MiB/s (1577MB/s), 1503MiB/s-1503MiB/s (1577MB/s-1577MB/s), io=440GiB (473GB), run=300006-300006msec

  +3.3% write throughput and +3.3% IO done in the same time period.

The test has somewhat limited coverage scope, as with only NOCOW writes
we get less contention on the red black tree of block groups, since we
don't have the extra contention caused by COW writes, namely when
allocating data extents, pinning and unpinning data extents, but on the
hand there's access to tree in the NOCOW path, when incrementing a block
group's number of NOCOW writers.
