btrfs: add and use helpers for reading and writing last_log_commit

Currently, the last_log_commit of a root can be accessed concurrently
without any lock protection. Readers can be calling btrfs_inode_in_log()
early in a fsync call, which reads a root's last_log_commit, while a
writer can change the last_log_commit while a log tree if being synced,
at btrfs_sync_log(). Any races here should be harmless, and in the worst
case they may cause a fsync to log an inode when it's not really needed,
so nothing bad from a functional perspective.

To avoid data race warnings from tools like KCSAN and other issues such
as load and store tearing (amongst others, see [1]), create helpers to
access the last_log_commit field of a root using READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE(), and use these helpers everywhere.
