Btrfs: race free update of commit root for ro snapshots

This is a better solution for the problem addressed in the following
commit:

    Btrfs: update commit root on snapshot creation after orphan cleanup
    (3821f348889e506efbd268cc8149e0ebfa47c4e5)

The previous solution wasn't the best because of 2 reasons:

    1) It added another full transaction commit, which is more expensive
       than just swapping the commit root with the root;

    2) If a reboot happened after the first transaction commit (the one
       that creates the snapshot) and before the second transaction commit,
       then we would end up with the same problem if a send using that
       snapshot was requested before the first transaction commit after
       the reboot.

This change addresses those 2 issues. The second issue is addressed by
switching the commit root in the dentry lookup VFS callback, which is
also called by the snapshot/subvol creation ioctl and performs orphan
cleanup if needed. Like the vfs, the ioctl locks the parent inode too,
preventing race issues between a dentry lookup and snapshot creation.
