Btrfs: use delayed ref sequence numbers for all fs-tree updates
The sequence number for delayed refs is needed to postpone certain delayed refs for a very short period while walking backrefs. Before the tree modification log, we thought we'd only have to hold back those references that don't have a counter operation. While now we've the tree mod log, we're rewinding fs tree blocks to a defined consistent state. We cannot know in advance for which tree block we'll be doing rewind operations later. Therefore, we must postpone all the delayed refs for fs-tree blocks, even those having a counter operation. Signed-off-by: Jan Schmidt <list.btrfs@jan-o-sch.net>
