[PATCH] btrfs: balance filter: add limit of processed chunks

[PATCH] btrfs: balance filter: add limit of processed chunks

[David Sterba]

This started as debugging helper, to watch the effects of converting
between raid levels on multiple devices, but could be useful standalone.

In my case the usage filter was not finegrained enough and led to
converting too many chunks at once. Another example use is in connection
with drange+devid or vrange filters that allow to work with a specific
chunk or even with a chunk on a given device.

The limit filter applies last, the value of 0 means no limiting.

The name 'limit' should resebmle the meaning from SQL SELECT.

Though it may not be that useful on it's own, we can use it as a building block
for more complex filters.
