btrfs: track original extent owner in head_ref



Simple quotas requires tracking the original creating root of any given
extent. This gets complicated when multiple subvolumes create
overlapping/contradictory refs in the same transaction. For example,
due to modifying or deleting an extent while also snapshotting it.

To resolve this in a general way, take advantage of the fact that we are
essentially already tracking this for handling releasing reservations.
The head ref coalesces the various refs and uses must_insert_reserved to
check if it needs to create an extent/free reservation. Store the ref
that set must_insert_reserved as the owning ref on the head ref.

Note that this can result in writing an extent for the very first time
with an owner different from its only ref, but it will look the same as
if you first created it with the original owning ref, then added the
other ref, then removed the owning ref.
