btrfs: add and use helpers for reading and writing last_trans_committed
Currently the last_trans_committed field of struct btrfs_fs_info is modified and read without any locking or other protection. For example early in the fsync path, skip_inode_logging() is called which reads fs_info->last_trans_committed, but at the same time we can have a transaction commit completing and updating that field. In the case of an fsync this is harmless and any data race should be rare and at most cause an unnecessary logging of an inode. To avoid data race warnings from tools like KCSAN and other issues such as load and store tearing (amongst others, see [1]), create helpers to access the last_trans_committed field of struct btrfs_fs_info using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(), and use these helpers everywhere.
