Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: preallocate anon block device at first phase of
 snapshot creation

[BUG]
When the anonymous block device pool is exhausted, subvolume/snapshot
creation fails with EMFILE (Too many files open). This has been reported
by a user. The allocation happens in the second phase during transaction
commit where it's only way out is to abort the transaction

  BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -24)

  BTRFS info (device sda1): forced readonly
  BTRFS warning (device sda1): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
  BTRFS: error (device sda1) in cleanup_transaction:1831: errno=-24 unknown

[CAUSE]
When the global anonymous block device pool is exhausted, the following
call chain will fail, and lead to transaction abort:

 btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2()
 |- btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_transid()
    |- btrfs_mksubvol()
       |- btrfs_commit_transaction()
          |- create_pending_snapshot()
             |- btrfs_get_fs_root()
                |- btrfs_init_fs_root()
                   |- get_anon_bdev()

[FIX]
Although we can't enlarge the anonymous block device pool, at least we
can preallocate anon_dev for subvolume/snapshot in the first phase,
outside of transaction context and exactly at the moment the user calls
the creation ioctl.
