Btrfs: create special free space cache inode

In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we
need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group.  So
first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number
of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have.  We
truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate.

This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however
it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old
fashion way.  When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we
modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache.
