Add btrfs_end_transaction_throttle to force writers to wait for pending commits
The existing throttle mechanism was often not sufficient to prevent
new writers from coming in and making a given transaction run forever.
This adds an explicit wait at the end of most operations so they will
allow the current transaction to close.
There is no wait inside file_write, inode updates, or cow filling, all which
have different deadlock possibilities.
This is a temporary measure until better asynchronous commit support is
added. This code leads to stalls as it waits for data=ordered
writeback, and it really needs to be fixed.
