e02119d5a7 Btrfs: Add a write ahead tree log to optimize synchronous operations
File syncs and directory syncs are optimized by copying their
items into a special (copy-on-write) log tree.  There is one log tree per
subvolume and the btrfs super block points to a tree of log tree roots.

After a crash, items are copied out of the log tree and back into the
subvolume.  See tree-log.c for all the details.
