Several distributions mount the "proper root" as ro during initrd and
then remount it as rw before pivot_root(2). Thus, if a rescan had been
aborted by a previous shutdown, the rescan would never be resumed.

This issue would manifest itself as several btrfs ioctl(2)s causing the
entire machine to hang when btrfs_qgroup_wait_for_completion was hit
(due to the fs_info->qgroup_rescan_running flag being set but the rescan
itself not being resumed). Notably, Docker's btrfs storage driver makes
regular use of BTRFS_QUOTA_CTL_DISABLE and BTRFS_IOC_QUOTA_RESCAN_WAIT
(causing this problem to be manifested on boot for some machines).

It's been known for a while that the use of multiple lists
that are periodically merged was an algorithmic problem within
btrfs.  There are several workloads that don't complete in any
reasonable amount of time (e.g. btrfs/130) and others that cause
soft lockups.

The solution is to use a set of rbtrees that do insertion merging
for both indirect and direct refs, with the former converting
refs into the latter.  The result is a btrfs/130 workload that
used to take several hours now takes about half of that. This
runtime still isn't acceptable and a future patch will address that
by moving the rbtrees higher in the stack so the lookups can be
shared across multiple calls to find_parent_nodes.

Commit afce772e ("btrfs: fix check_shared for fiemap ioctl") added
the ref_tree code in backref.c to reduce backref searching for
shared extents under the FIEMAP ioctl. This code will not be
compatible with the upcoming rbtree changes for improved backref
searching, so this patch removes the ref_tree code.  The rbtree
changes will provide the equivalent functionality for FIEMAP.

The above commit also introduced transaction semantics around calls to
btrfs_check_shared() in order to accurately account for delayed refs.
This functionality needs to be retained, so a complete revert of the
above commit is not desirable. This patch therefore removes the
ref_tree portion of the commit as above, however it does not remove
the transaction portion.

We typically use __ to indicate a helper routine that shouldn't be
called directly without understanding the proper context required
to do so.  We use static functions to indicate that a function is
private to a particular C file.  The backref code uses static

difficult to read and establishes a pattern for future code that

When starting the xenwatch thread a theoretical deadlock situation is
possible:

xs_init() contains:

    task = kthread_run(xenwatch_thread, NULL, "xenwatch");
    if (IS_ERR(task))
        return PTR_ERR(task);
    xenwatch_pid = task->pid;

And xenwatch_thread() does:

    mutex_lock(&xenwatch_mutex);
    ...
    event->handle->callback();
    ...
    mutex_unlock(&xenwatch_mutex);

The callback could call unregister_xenbus_watch() which does:

    ...
    if (current->pid != xenwatch_pid)
        mutex_lock(&xenwatch_mutex);
    ...

In case a watch is firing before xenwatch_pid could be set and the
callback of that watch unregisters a watch, then a self-deadlock would
occur.

Avoid this by setting xenwatch_pid in xenwatch_thread().
