Btrfs: make df be a little bit more understandable

Browse source 
The way we report df usage is way confusing for everybody, including some other
utilities (bacula for one).  So this patch makes df a little bit more
understandable.  First we make used actually count the total amount of used
space in all space info's.  This will give us a real view of how much disk space
is in use.  Second, for blocks available, only count data space.  This makes
things like bacula work because it says 0 when you can no longer write anymore
data to the disk.  I think this is a nice compromise, since you will end up with
something like the following

[root@alpha ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
                      148G   30G  111G  21% /
/dev/sda1             194M  116M   68M  64% /boot
tmpfs                 985M   12K  985M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-LogVol02
                      145G  140G     0 100% /mnt/btrfs-test

Compare this with btrfsctl -i output

[root@alpha btrfs-progs-unstable]# ./btrfsctl -i /mnt/btrfs-test/
Metadata, DUP: total=4.62GB, used=2.46GB
System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=24.00KB
Data: total=134.80GB, used=134.80GB
Metadata: total=8.00MB, used=0.00
System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00
operation complete

This way we show that there is no more data space to be used, but we have
another 5GB of space left for metadata.  Thanks,
