[PATCH v7 2/5] btrfs: create read policy framework

[Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com>]

As of now we use %pid method to read stripped mirrored data, which means
process id determines the stripe id to be read. This type of routing
typically helps in a system with many small independent processes tying
to read random data. On the other hand the %pid based read IO policy is
inefficient because if there is a single process trying to read large
data the overall disk bandwidth remains under-utilized.

So this patch introduces read policy framework so that we could add more
read policies, such as IO routing based on device's wait-queue or manual
when we have a read-preferred device or a policy based on the target
storage caching.

v7: Fix missing /* fall through */ in the switch
    Removed Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>
v6:-
v5: Title renamed from:- btrfs: add read_policy framework
    Change log updated.
    Unnecessary comment dropped, added more where necessary.
    Optimize code in the switch remove duplicate code.
    Define BTRFS_READ_POLICY_DEFAULT dropped.
    Rename enum btrfs_read_policy_type to enum btrfs_read_policy.
    Rename BTRFS_READ_BY_PID to BTRFS_READ_POLICY_PID.
    (As its mainly renames. Reviewed-by retained).
v4: -
v3: Declare fs_devices::readmirror as enum btrfs_readmirror_policy_type
v2: Declare fs_devices::readmirror as u8 instead of atomic_t 
    A small change in comment and change log wordings.
