btrfs: locking: use atomic for DREW lock writers

The DREW lock uses percpu variable to track lock counters and for that
it needs to allocate the structure. In btrfs_read_tree_root() or
btrfs_init_fs_root() this may add another error case or requires the
NOFS scope protection.

One way is to preallocate the structure as was suggested in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20221214021125.28289-1-robbieko@synology.com/

We may avoid the allocation altogether if we don't use the percpu
variables but an atomic for the writer counter. This should not make any
difference, the DREW lock is used for truncate and NOCOW writes along
with other IO operations.

The percpu counter for writers has been there since the original commit
8257b2dc3c1a1057 "Btrfs: introduce btrfs_{start, end}_nocow_write() for
each subvolume". The reason could be to avoid hammering the same
cacheline from all the readers but then the writers do that anyway.
