bcachefs: Disable merges from interior update path
There's been a bug in the btree write buffer where it wasn't triggering
btree node merges - and leaving behind a bunch of nearly empty btree
nodes.
Then during journal replay, when updates to the backpointers btree
aren't using the btree write buffer (because we require synchronization
with journal replay), we end up doing those merges all at once.
Then if it's the interior update path running them, we deadlock because
those run with the highest watermark.
There's no real need for the interior update path to be doing btree node
merges; other code paths can handle that at lower watermarks.
