Btrfs: remove unnecessary delalloc mutex for inodes

Browse Source 
The inode delalloc mutex was added a long time ago by commit f248679e86
("Btrfs: add a delalloc mutex to inodes for delalloc reservations"), and
the reason for its introduction is not very clear from the change log. It
claims it solves bogus warnings from lockdep, however it lacks an example
report/warning from lockdep, or any explanation.

Since we have enough concurrentcy protection from the locks of the space
info and block reserve objects, and such lockdep warnings don't seem to
exist anymore (at least on a 5.3 kernel I couldn't get them with fstests,
ltp, fs_mark, etc), remove it, simplifying things a bit and decreasing
the size of the btrfs_inode structure. With some quick fio tests doing
direct IO and mmap writes I couldn't observe any significant performance
increase either (direct IO writes that don't increase the file's size
don't hold the inode's lock for their entire duration and mmap writes
don't hold the inode's lock at all), which are the only type of writes
that could see any performance gain due to less serialization.

Review feedback from Josef:

The problem was taking the i_mutex in mmap, which is how I was
protecting delalloc reservations originally.  The delalloc mutex didn't
come with all of the other dependencies.  That's what the lockdep
messages were about, removing the lock isn't going to make them appear
again.

We _had_ to lock around this because we used to do tricks to keep from
over-reserving, and if we didn't serialize delalloc reservations we'd
end up with ugly accounting problems when we tried to clean things up.

However with my recentish changes this isn't the case anymore.  Every
operation is responsible for reserving its space, and then adding it to
the inode.  Then cleaning up is straightforward and can't be mucked up
by other users.  So we no longer need the delalloc mutex to safe us from
ourselves.
