Btrfs: less fs tree lock contention when using autodefrag

When finding new extents during an autodefrag, don't do so many fs tree
lookups to find an extent with a size smaller then the target treshold.
Instead, after each fs tree forward search immediately unlock upper
levels and process the entire leaf while holding a read lock on the leaf,
since our leaf processing is very fast.
This reduces lock contention, allowing for higher concurrency when other
tasks want to write/update items related to other inodes in the fs tree,
as we're not holding read locks on upper tree levels while processing the
leaf and we do less tree searches.

Test:

    sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=512 --file-total-size=16G \
       --file-test-mode=rndrw --num-threads=32 --file-block-size=32768 \
       --file-rw-ratio=3 --file-io-mode=sync --max-time=1800 \
       --max-requests=10000000000 [prepare|run]

(fileystem mounted with -o autodefrag, averages of 5 runs)
