Btrfs: Raise thresholds for metadata writeback
Btrfs metadata writeback is fairly expensive. Once a tree block is written it must be cowed before it can be changed again. The btree writepages code has a threshold based on a count of dirty btree bytes which is updated as IO is sent out. This changes btree_writepages to skip the writeout if there are less than 32MB of dirty bytes from the btrees, improving performance across many workloads.
