Stefan Roesch 22c55e3bbb btrfs: sysfs: add force_chunk_alloc trigger to force allocation ...

Adds write-only trigger to force new chunk allocation for a given block
group type. It is at

  /sys/fs/btrfs/<uuid>/allocation/<type>/force_chunk_alloc

Note: this is now only for debugging and testing and is enabled with the
      CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG configuration option. The transaction is
      started from sysfs context and can be problematic in some cases.
