this patch breaks mixed block groups. If the space_infos get added
upfront, later on all mixed block groups will be added to the data
space_info, leaving the metadata space_info completely empty.
No mixed space_info will ever get created.
As a fix it might be enough to call btrfs_init_space_info after
btrfs_read_block_groups, not before, but I haven't tested it.

This was the cause of the BUG reported by Sergei Trofimovich in the
thread "v2.6.38-6555-ga44f99c: null pointer dereference on -ENOSPC".
