Btrfs: fix fsync after succession of renames of different files

After a succession of rename operations of different files and fsyncing
one of them, such that each file gets a new name that corresponds to an
old name of another file, we can end up with a log that will cause a
failure when attempted to replay at mount time (an EEXIST error).
We currently have correct behaviour when such succession of renames
involves only two files, but if there are more files involved, we end up
not logging all the inodes that are needed, therefore resulting in a
failure when attempting to replay the log.

Example:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ mkdir /mnt/testdir
  $ touch /mnt/testdir/fname1
  $ touch /mnt/testdir/fname2

  $ sync

  $ mv /mnt/testdir/fname1 /mnt/testdir/fname3
  $ mv /mnt/testdir/fname2 /mnt/testdir/fname4
  $ ln /mnt/testdir/fname3 /mnt/testdir/fname2

  $ touch /mnt/testdir/fname1
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir/fname1

  <power failure>

  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  mount: mount /dev/sdb on /mnt failed: File exists

So fix this by checking all inode dependencies when logging an inode. That
is, if one logged inode A has a new name that matches the old name of some
other inode B, check if inode B has a new name that matches the old name
of some other inode C, and so on. This fix is implemented not by doing any
recursive function calls but by using an iterative method using a linked
list that is used in a first-in-first-out fashion.

A test case for fstests follows soon.
