Btrfs: forced readonly mounts on errors

This patch comes from "Forced readonly mounts on errors" ideas.

As we know, this is the first step in being more fault tolerant of disk
corruptions instead of just using BUG() statements.

The major content:
- add a framework for generating errors that should result in filesystems
  going readonly.
- keep FS state in disk super block.
- make sure that all of resource will be freed and released at umount time.
- make sure that fter FS is forced readonly on error, there will be no more
  disk change before FS is corrected. For this, we should stop write operation.

After this patch is applied, the conversion from BUG() to such a framework can
happen incrementally.
