btrfs: replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with a fixed u64 value



In btrfs_io_context structure, we have a pointer raid_map, which
indicates the logical bytenr for each stripe.

But considering we always call sort_parity_stripes(), the result
raid_map[] is always sorted, thus raid_map[0] is always the logical
bytenr of the full stripe.

So why we waste the space and time (for sorting) for raid_map?

This patch will replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with a single u64
number, full_stripe_start, by:

- Replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with full_stripe_start

- Replace call sites using raid_map[0] to use full_stripe_start

- Replace call sites using raid_map[i] to compare with nr_data_stripes.

The benefits are:

- Less memory wasted on raid_map
  It's sizeof(u64) * num_stripes vs sizeof(u64).
  It'll always save at least one u64, and the benefit grows larger with
  num_stripes.

- No more weird alloc_btrfs_io_context() behavior
  As there is only one fixed size + one variable length array.
