btrfs: allow a generation number to be associated with lru cache entries

This allows an optional generation number to be associated to each entry
of the lru cache. Entries with the same key but different generations, are
stored in the linked list to which the maple tree points to. This is meant
to be used when there's a small number of different generations, so the
impact of searching a linked list is negligible. The goal is to get rid of
the open coded name cache in the send code (which uses a radix tree and
a similar linked list of values/entries) and use instead the lru cache
module. For that particular use case we have at most 2 generations that
are associated to each key (inode number): one generation for the send
root and another generation for the parent root. The actual migration of
the send name cache is done in the next patch in the series.

This patch is part of a larger patchset and the changelog of the last
patch in the series contains a sample performance test and results.
The patches that comprise the patchset are the following:

  btrfs: send: directly return from did_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
  btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary generation search at did_overwrite_ref()
  btrfs: send: directly return from will_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
  btrfs: send: avoid extra b+tree searches when checking reference overrides
  btrfs: send: remove send_progress argument from can_rmdir()
  btrfs: send: avoid duplicated orphan dir allocation and initialization
  btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary orphan dir rbtree search at can_rmdir()
  btrfs: send: reduce searches on parent root when checking if dir can be removed
  btrfs: send: iterate waiting dir move rbtree only once when processing refs
  btrfs: send: initialize all the red black trees earlier
  btrfs: send: genericize the backref cache to allow it to be reused
  btrfs: adapt lru cache to allow for 64 bits keys on 32 bits systems
  btrfs: send: cache information about created directories
  btrfs: allow a generation number to be associated with lru cache entries
  btrfs: add an api to delete a specific entry from the lru cache
  btrfs: send: use the lru cache to implement the name cache
  btrfs: send: update size of roots array for backref cache entries
  btrfs: send: cache utimes operations for directories if possible
