btrfs: skip subtree scan if it's too high to avoid low stall in btrfs_commit_transaction()

Btrfs qgroup has a long history of bringing performance penalty in
btrfs_commit_transaction().

Although we tried our best to migrate such impact, there is still an
unsolved call site, btrfs_drop_snapshot().

This function will find the highest shared tree block and modify its
extent ownership to do a subvolume/snapshot dropping.

Such change will affect the whole subtree, and cause tons of qgroup
dirty extents and stall btrfs_commit_transaction().

To avoid such problem, here we introduce a new sysfs interface,
/sys/fs/btrfs/<uuid>/qgroups/drop_subptree_threshold, to determine at
whether and at which level we should skip qgroup accounting for subtree
dropping.

The default value is BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL, thus every subtree drop will go
through qgroup accounting, to ensure qgroup numbers are kept as
consistent as possible.

While for performance sensitive cases, add a way to change the values to
more reasonable values like 3, to make any subtree, which is at or higher
than level 3, to mark qgroup inconsistent and skip the accounting.

The cost is obvious, the qgroup number is no longer consistent, but at
least performance is more reasonable, and users have the control.
