btrfs: block-group: fix free-space bitmap threshold

[BUG]
After commit 9afc6649 ("btrfs: block-group: refactor how we read one
block group item"), cache->length is being assigned after calling
btrfs_create_block_group_cache. This causes a problem since
set_free_space_tree_thresholds calculates the free-space threshold to
decide if the free-space tree should convert from extents to bitmaps.

The current code calls set_free_space_tree_thresholds with cache->length
being 0, which then makes cache->bitmap_high_thresh zero. This implies
the system will always use bitmap instead of extents, which is not
desired if the block group is not fragmented.

This behavior can be seen by a test that expects to repair systems
with FREE_SPACE_EXTENT and FREE_SPACE_BITMAP, but the current code only
created FREE_SPACE_BITMAP.

[FIX]
Call set_free_space_tree_thresholds after setting cache->length. There
is now a WARN_ON in set_free_space_tree_thresholds to help preventing
the same mistake to happen again in the future.
