commit b12de52 upstream.

[BUG]
When running btrfs/072 with only one online CPU, it has a pretty high
chance to fail:

#  btrfs/072 12s ... _check_dmesg: something found in dmesg (see xfstests-dev/results//btrfs/072.dmesg)

And with the following call trace:

[CAUSE]
The error number -27 is -EFBIG, returned from the following call chain:
btrfs_end_transaction()
|- __btrfs_end_transaction()
   |- btrfs_create_pending_block_groups()
      |- btrfs_finish_chunk_alloc()
         |- btrfs_add_system_chunk()

This happens because we have used up all space of
btrfs_super_block::sys_chunk_array.

The root cause is, we have the following bad loop of creating tons of
system chunks:

1. The only SYSTEM chunk is being scrubbed
   It's very common to have only one SYSTEM chunk.
2. New SYSTEM bg will be allocated
   As btrfs_inc_block_group_ro() will check if we have enough space
   after marking current bg RO. If not, then allocate a new chunk.
3. New SYSTEM bg is still empty, will be reclaimed
   During the reclaim, we will mark it RO again.
4. That newly allocated empty SYSTEM bg get scrubbed
   We go back to step 2, as the bg is already mark RO but still not
   cleaned up yet.

If the cleaner kthread doesn't get executed fast enough (e.g. only one
CPU), then we will get more and more empty SYSTEM chunks, using up all
the space of btrfs_super_block::sys_chunk_array.

[FIX]
Since scrub/dev-replace doesn't always need to allocate new extent,
especially chunk tree extent, so we don't really need to do chunk
pre-allocation.

To break above spiral, here we introduce a new parameter to
btrfs_inc_block_group(), @do_chunk_alloc, which indicates whether we
need extra chunk pre-allocation.

For relocation, we pass @do_chunk_alloc=true, while for scrub, we pass
@do_chunk_alloc=false.
This should keep unnecessary empty chunks from popping up for scrub.

Also, since there are two parameters for btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(),
add more comment for it.
