Btrfs: avoid races between super writeout and device list updates
On multi-device filesystems, btrfs writes supers to all of the devices
before considering a sync complete. There wasn't any additional
locking between super writeout and the device list management code
because device management was done inside a transaction and
super writeout only happened with no transation writers running.
With the btrfs fsync log and other async transaction updates, this
has been racey for some time. This adds a mutex to protect
the device list. The existing volume mutex could not be reused due to
transaction lock ordering requirements.
