btrfs: log conflicting inodes without holding log mutex of the initial inode

When logging an inode, if we detect the inode has a reference that
conflicts with some other inode that got renamed, we log that other inode
while holding the log mutex of the current inode. We then find out if
there are other inodes that conflict with the first conflicting inode,
and log them while under the log mutex of the original inode. This is
fine because the recursion can only happen once.

For the upcoming work where we directly log delayed items without flushing
them first to the subvolume tree, this recursion adds a lot of complexity
and it's hard to keep lockdep happy about it.

So collect a list of conflicting inodes and then log the inodes after
unlocking the log mutex of the inode we started with.

Also limit the maximum number of conflict inodes we log to 10, to avoid
spending too much time logging (and maybe allocating too many list
elements too), as typically we don't have more than 1 or 2 conflicting
inodes - if we go over the limit, simply fallback to a transaction commit.

It is possible to have a very long list of conflicting inodes to be
intentionally created by a user if he/she creates a very long succession
of renames like this:

  (...)
  rename E to F
  rename D to E
  rename C to D
  rename B to C
  rename A to B
  touch A (create a new file named A)
  fsync A

If that happened for a sequence of hundreds or thousands of renames, it
could massively slow down the logging and cause other secondary effects
like for example blocking other fsync operations and transaction commits
for a very long time (assuming it wouldn't run into -ENOSPC or -ENOMEM
first). However such cases are very uncommon to happen in practice,
nevertheless it's better to be prepared for them and avoid chaos.
Such long sequence of conflicting inodes could be created before this
change.
