Add ref_tracker infrastructure for struct btrfs_delayed_node.
It is a response to the largest btrfs related crash in our fleet. We're
seeing soft lockups in btrfs_kill_all_delayed_nodes() that seem to be a
result of delayed_nodes not being released properly.
A ref_tracker object is allocated on reference count increases and freed
on reference count decreases. The ref_tracker object stores a stack
trace of where it is allocated. The ref_tracker_dir object is embedded
in btrfs_delayed_node and keeps track of all current and some old/freed
ref_tracker objects. When a leak is detected we can print the stack
traces for all ref_trackers that have not yet been freed.
Here is a common example of taking a reference to a delayed_node and
freeing it with ref_tracker.
struct btrfs_ref_tracker tracker;
struct btrfs_delayed_node *node;
node = btrfs_get_delayed_node(inode, &tracker);
// use delayed_node...
btrfs_release_delayed_node(node, &tracker);
There are two special cases where the delayed_node reference is "long
lived", meaning that the thread that takes the reference and the thread
that releases the reference are different. The 'inode_cache_tracker'
tracks the delayed_node stored in btrfs_inode. The 'node_list_tracker'
tracks the delayed_node stored in the btrfs_delayed_root
node_list/prepare_list. These trackers are embedded in the
btrfs_delayed_node.
btrfs_ref_tracker and btrfs_ref_tracker_dir are wrappers that either
compile to the corresponding ref_tracker structs or empty structs
depending on CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG. There are also btrfs wrappers for
the ref_tracker API.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
