[PATCH] btrfs: rotate mirror selection

[PATCH] btrfs: rotate mirror selection

[David Sterba]

Single process will always select the same mirror (raid1 and raid10),
selection si based on PID. Use a simple incremental counter on every
attempt. This is just a heuristic, we do not know which mirror device is
least loaded, but there is a good chance the distribution over mirrors
will improve.
