btrfs: send: avoid double extent tree search when finding clone source

At find_extent_clone() we search twice for the extent item corresponding
to the data extent that the current file extent items points to:

1) Once with a call to extent_from_logical();

2) Once again during backref walking, through iterate_extent_inodes()
   which eventually leads to find_parent_nodes() where we will search
   again the extent tree for the same extent item.

The extent tree can be huge, so doing this one extra search for every
extent we want to send adds up and it's expensive.

The first call is there since the send code was introduced and it
accomplishes two things:

1) Check that the extent is flagged as a data extent in the extent tree.
   But it can not be anything else, otherwise we wouldn't have a file
   extent item in the send root pointing to it.
   This was probably added to catch bugs in the early days where send was
   yet too young and the interaction with everything else was far from
   perfect;

2) Check how many direct references there are on the extent, and if
   there's too many (more than SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS), avoid doing the
   backred walking as it may take too long and slowdown send.

So improve on this by having a callback in the backref walking code that
is called when it finds the extent item in the extent tree, and have those
checks done in the callback. When the callback returns anything different
from 0, it stops the backref walking code. This way we do a single search
on the extent tree for the extent item of our data extent.

Also, before this change we were only checking the number of references on
the data extent against SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS, but after starting backref
walking we will end up resolving backrefs for extent buffers in the path
from a leaf having a file extent item pointing to our data extent, up to
roots of trees from which the extent buffer is accessible from, due to
shared subtrees resulting from snapshoting. We were therefore allowing for
the possibility for send taking too long due to some node in the path from
the leaf to a root node being shared too many times. After this change we
check for reference counts being greater than SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS for
both data extents and metadata extents.

This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:

  11/17 btrfs: use a structure to pass arguments to backref walking functions
  12/17 btrfs: reuse roots ulist on each leaf iteration for iterate_extent_inodes()
  13/17 btrfs: constify ulist parameter of ulist_next()
  14/17 btrfs: send: cache leaf to roots mapping during backref walking
