btrfs: fix lockups from btrfs_clear_path_blocking

The fair reader/writer locks mean that btrfs_clear_path_blocking needs
to strictly follow lock ordering rules even when we already have
blocking locks on a given path.

Before we can clear a blocking lock on the path, we need to make sure
all of the locks have been converted to blocking.  This will remove lock
inversions against anyone spinning in write_lock() against the buffers
we're trying to get read locks on.  These inversions didn't exist before
the fair read/writer locks, but now we need to be more careful.

We papered over this deadlock in the past by changing
btrfs_try_read_lock() to be a true trylock against both the spinlock and
the blocking lock.  This was slower, and not sufficient to fix all the
deadlocks.  This patch adds a btrfs_tree_read_lock_atomic(), which
basically means get the spinlock but trylock on the blocking lock.
