[PATCH 02/25] btrfs: rework async transaction committing

[Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>]

Currently we do this awful thing where we get another ref on a trans
handle, async off that handle and commit the transaction from that work.
Because we do this we have to mess with current->journal_info and the
freeze counting stuff.

We already have an async thing to kick for the transaction commit, the
transaction kthread.  Replace this work struct with a flag on the
fs_info to tell the kthread to go ahead and commit even if it's before
our timeout.  Then we can drastically simplify the async transaction
commit path.
