ocfs2: Make ocfs2_extent_tree the first-class representation of a tree.

Browse source 
We now have three different kinds of extent trees in ocfs2: inode data
(dinode), extended attributes (xattr_tree), and extended attribute
values (xattr_value).  There is a nice abstraction for them,
ocfs2_extent_tree, but it is hidden in alloc.c.  All the calling
functions have to pick amongst a varied API and pass in type bits and
often extraneous pointers.

A better way is to make ocfs2_extent_tree a first-class object.
Everyone converts their object to an ocfs2_extent_tree() via the
ocfs2_get_*_extent_tree() calls, then uses the ocfs2_extent_tree for all
tree calls to alloc.c.

This simplifies a lot of callers, making for readability.  It also
provides an easy way to add additional extent tree types, as they only
need to be defined in alloc.c with a ocfs2_get_<new>_extent_tree()
function.
