btrfs: use a kmem_cache for free space control structures
We are currently allocating the free space control structures for block groups using the generic slabs, and given that the size of the btrfs_free_space_ctl structure is 152 bytes (on a release kernel), we end up using the kmalloc-192 slab and therefore waste quite some memory since on a 4K page system we can only fit 21 free space control structures per page. These structures are allocated and delallocated every time we create and remove block groups. So use a kmem_cache for free space control structures, this way on a 4K page system we can fit 26 structures instead of 21.
