Btrfs: Add journal for raid5/6 writes

This aims to fix write hole issue on btrfs raid5/6 setup by adding a
separate disk as a journal (aka raid5/6 log), so that after unclean
shutdown we can make sure data and parity are consistent on the raid
array by replaying the journal.

The idea and the code are similar to the write-through mode of md
raid5-cache, so ppl(partial parity log) is also feasible to implement.
(If you've been familiar with md, you may find this patch set is
boring to read...)

Patch 1-3 are about adding a log disk, patch 5-8 are the main part of
the implementation, the rest patches are improvements and bugfixes,
eg. readahead for recovery, checksum.

Two btrfs-progs patches are required to play with this patch set, one
is to enhance 'btrfs device add' to add a disk as raid5/6 log with the
option '-L', the other is to teach 'btrfs-show-super' to show
%journal_tail.

This is currently based on 4.12-rc3.

The patch set is tagged with RFC, and comments are always welcome,
thanks.

Known limitations:
- Deleting a log device is not implemented yet.
