Btrfs: create special free space cache inode
In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group. So first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have. We truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate. This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old fashion way. When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
