The tree modification log functions are called very frequently, basically
they are called every time a btree is modified (a pointer added or removed
to a node, a new root for a btree is set, etc). Because of that, to avoid
heavy lock contention on the lock that protects the list of tree mod log
users, we have checks that test the emptiness of the list with a full
memory barrier before the checks, so that when there are no tree mod log
users we avoid taking the lock.
Replace the memory barrier and list emptiness check with a test for a new
bit set at fs_info->flags. This bit is used to indicate when there are
tree mod log users, set whenever a user is added to the list and cleared
when the last user is removed from the list. This makes the intention a
bit more obvious and possibly more efficient (assuming test_bit() may be
cheaper than a full memory barrier on some architectures).

Several functions of the tree modification log use integers as booleans,
so change them to use booleans instead, making their use more clear.

The tree modification log, which records modifications done to btrees, is
quite large and currently spread all over ctree.c, which is a huge file
already.
To make things better organized, move all that code into its own separate
source and header files. Functions and definitions that are used outside
of the module (mostly by ctree.c) are renamed so that they start with a
"btrfs_" prefix. Everything else remains unchanged.
This makes it easier to go over the tree modification log code every
time I need to go read it to fix a bug.
