btrfs: avoid races when tracking progress for extent map shrinking



We store the progress (root and inode numbers) of the extent map shrinker
in fs_info without any synchronization but we can have multiple tasks
calling into the shrinker during memory allocations when there's enough
memory pressure for example.

This can result in a task A reading fs_info->extent_map_shrinker_last_ino
after another task B updates it, and task A reading
fs_info->extent_map_shrinker_last_root before task B updates it, making
task A see an odd state that isn't necessarily harmful but may make it
skip certain inode ranges or do more work than necessary by going over
the same inodes again. These unprotected accesses would also trigger
warnings from tools like KCSAN.

So add a lock to protect access to these progress fields.
