Btrfs: generic data structure to build unique lists

ulist is a generic data structures to hold a collection of unique u64
values. The only operations it supports is adding to the list and
enumerating it.

It is possible to store an auxiliary value along with the key. The
implementation is preliminary and can probably be sped up significantly.

It is used by btrfs_find_all_roots() quota to translate recursions into
iterative loops.

+ * ulist is a generic data structure to hold a collection of unique u64

+ * It is possible to store an auxiliary value along with the key.
+ *
+ * The implementation is preliminary and can probably be sped up

+ * as soon as ULIST_SIZE is exceeded.
+ *
+ * A sample usage for ulists is the enumeration of directed graphs without
+ * visiting a node twice. The pseudo-code could look like this:
+ *
+ * ulist = ulist_alloc();
+ * ulist_add(ulist, root);
+ * elem = NULL;
+ *
+ * while ((elem = ulist_next(ulist, elem)) {
+ * 	for (all child nodes n in elem)
+ *		ulist_add(ulist, n);
+ *	do something useful with the node;
+ * }
+ * ulist_free(ulist);
+ *
+ * This assumes the graph nodes are adressable by u64. This stems from the
+ * usage for tree enumeration in btrfs, where the logical addresses are
+ * 64 bit.
+ *
+ * It is also useful for tree enumeration which could be done elegantly
+ * recursively, but is not possible due to kernel stack limitations. The
+ * loop would be similar to the above.
