btrfs: use async_chunk::async_cow to replace the confusing pending pointer
For structure async_chunk, we use a very strange member layout to grab
structure async_cow who owns this async_chunk.
At initialization, it goes like this:
async_chunk[i].pending = &ctx->num_chunks;
Then at async_cow_free() we do a super weird freeing:
/*
* Since the pointer to 'pending' is at the beginning of the array of
* async_chunk's, freeing it ensures the whole array has been freed.
*/
if (atomic_dec_and_test(async_chunk->pending))
kvfree(async_chunk->pending);
This is absolutely an abuse of kvfree().
Replace async_chunk::pending with async_chunk::async_cow, so that we can
grab the async_cow structure directly, without this strange dancing.
And with this change, there is no requirement for any specific member
location.
