btrfs: Deprecate userspace transaction ioctls
Userspace transactions were introduced in commit 6bf13c0c ("Btrfs: transaction ioctls") to provide semantics that Ceph's object store required. However, things have changed significantly since then, to the point where btrfs is no longer suitable as a backend for ceph and in fact it's actively advised against such usages. Considering this, there doesn't seem to be a widespread, legit use case of userspace transaction. They also clutter the file->private pointer. So to end the agony let's nuke the userspace transaction ioctls. As a first step let's give time for people to voice their objection by just WARN()ining when the userspace transaction is used.
