btrfs: load block group size class when caching

Since the size class is an artifact of an arbitrary anti fragmentation
strategy, it doesn't really make sense to persist it. Furthermore, most
of the size class logic assumes fresh block groups. That is of course
not a reasonable assumption -- we will be upgrading kernels with
existing filesystems whose block groups are not classified.

To work around those issues, implement logic to compute the size class
of the block groups as we cache them in. To perfectly assess the state
of a block group, we would have to read the entire extent tree (since
the free space cache mashes together contiguous extent items) which
would be prohibitively expensive for larger file systems with more
extents.

We can do it relatively cheaply by implementing a simple heuristic of
sampling a handful of extents and picking the smallest one we see. In
the happy case where the block group was classified, we will only see
extents of the correct size. In the unhappy case, we will hopefully find
one of the smaller extents, but there is no perfect answer anyway.
Autorelocation will eventually churn up the block group if there is
significant freeing anyway.

There was no regression in mount performance at end state of the fsperf
test suite, and the delay until the block group is marked cached is
minimized by the constant number of extent samples.

+ * Best effort attempt to compute a block group's size class while caching it.

+ * @block_group: the block group we are caching
+ *
+ * We cannot infer the size class while adding free space extents, because that
+ * logic doesn't care about contiguous file extents (it doesn't differentiate
+ * between a 100M extent and 100 contiguous 1M extents). So we need to read the
+ * file extent items. Reading all of them is quite wasteful, because usually
+ * only a handful are enough to give a good answer. Therefore, we just grab 5 of
+ * them at even steps through the block group and pick the smallest size class
+ * we see. Since size class is best effort, and not guaranteed in general,
+ * inaccuracy is acceptable.
+ *
+ * To be more explicit about why this algorithm makes sense:
+ *
+ * If we are caching in a block group from disk, then there are three major cases
+ * to consider:
+ * 1. the block group is well behaved and all extents in it are the same size
+ *    class.
+ * 2. the block group is mostly one size class with rare exceptions for last
+ *    ditch allocations
+ * 3. the block group was populated before size classes and can have a totally
+ *    arbitrary mix of size classes.
+ *
+ * In case 1, looking at any extent in the block group will yield the correct
+ * result. For the mixed cases, taking the minimum size class seems like a good
+ * approximation, since gaps from frees will be usable to the size class. For
+ * 2., a small handful of file extents is likely to yield the right answer. For
+ * 3, we can either read every file extent, or admit that this is best effort
+ * anyway and try to stay fast.
+ *
+ * Returns: 0 on success, negative error code on error.
