btrfs: enumerate the type of exclusive operation in progress
Instead of using a flag bit for exclusive operation, use a variable to store which exclusive operation is being performed. Introduce an API to start and finish an exclusive operation. This would enable another way for tools to check which operation is running on why starting an exclusive operation failed. The followup patch adds a sysfs_notify() to alert userspace when the state changes, so userspace can perform select() on it to get notified of the change. This would enable us to enqueue a command which will wait for current exclusive operation to complete before issuing the next exclusive operation. This has been done synchronously as opposed to a background process, or else error collection (if any) will become difficult.
