btrfs: use async_chunk::async_cow to replace the confusing pending pointer
For structure async_chunk, we use a very strange member layout to grab structure async_cow who owns this async_chunk. At initialization, it goes like this: async_chunk[i].pending = &ctx->num_chunks; Then at async_cow_free() we do a super weird freeing: /* * Since the pointer to 'pending' is at the beginning of the array of * async_chunk's, freeing it ensures the whole array has been freed. */ if (atomic_dec_and_test(async_chunk->pending)) kvfree(async_chunk->pending); This is absolutely an abuse of kvfree(). Replace async_chunk::pending with async_chunk::async_cow, so that we can grab the async_cow structure directly, without this strange dancing. And with this change, there is no requirement for any specific member location.
