btrfs: don't adjust bg flags and use default allocation profiles
btrfs/061 has been failing consistently for me recently with a transaction abort. We run out of space in the system chunk array, which means we've allocated way too many system chunks than we need. Chris added this a long time ago for balance as a poor mans restriping. If you had a single disk and then added another disk and then did a balance, update_block_group_flags would then figure out which RAID level you needed. Fast forward to today and we have restriping behavior, so we can explicitly tell the fs that we're trying to change the raid level. This is accomplished through the normal get_alloc_profile path. Furthermore this code actually causes btrfs/061 to fail, because we do things like mkfs -m dup -d single with multiple devices. This trips this check alloc_flags = update_block_group_flags(fs_info, cache->flags); if (alloc_flags != cache->flags) { ret = btrfs_chunk_alloc(trans, alloc_flags, CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE); in btrfs_inc_block_group_ro. Because we're balancing and scrubbing, but not actually restriping, we keep forcing chunk allocation of RAID1 chunks. This eventually causes us to run out of system space and the file system aborts and flips read only. We don't need this poor mans restriping any more, simply use the normal get_alloc_profile helper, which will get the correct alloc_flags and thus make the right decision for chunk allocation. This keeps us from allocating a billion system chunks and falling over.
