btrfs: handle checksum generation in the storage layer



Instead of letting the callers of btrfs_submit_bio deal with checksumming
the (meta)data in the bio and making decisions on when to offload the
checksumming to the bio, leave that to btrfs_submit_bio.  Do do so the
existing btrfs_submit_bio function is split into an upper and a lower
half, so that the lower half can be offloaded to a workqueue.

Note that this changes the behavior for direct writes to raid56 volumes so
that async checksum offloading is not skipped when more I/O is expected.
This runs counter to the argument explaining why it was done, although I
can't measure any affects of the change.  Commits later in this series
will make sure the entire direct writes is offloaded to the workqueue
at once and thus make sure it is sent to the raid56 code from a single
thread.
