Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: free anon block device right after subvolume deletion

[BUG]
When a lot of subvolumes are created, there is a user report about
transaction aborted caused by slow anonymous block device reclaim:

  BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -24)
  WARNING: CPU: 17 PID: 17041 at fs/btrfs/transaction.c:1576 create_pending_snapshot+0xbc4/0xd10 [btrfs]

  BTRFS: error (device sda1) in cleanup_transaction:1831: errno=-24 unknown

[CAUSE]
The anonymous device pool is shared and its size is 1M. It's possible to
hit that limit if the subvolume deletion is not fast enough and the
subvolumes to be cleaned keep the ids allocated.

[WORKAROUND]
We can't avoid the anon device pool exhaustion but we can shorten the
time the id is attached to the subvolume root once the subvolume becomes
invisible to the user.
