Btrfs: fix uncompleted transaction
In some cases, we need commit the current transaction, but don't want to start a new one if there is no running transaction, so we introduce the function - btrfs_attach_transaction(), which can catch the current transaction, and return -ENOENT if there is no running transaction. But no running transaction doesn't mean the current transction completely, because we removed the running transaction before it completes. In some cases, it doesn't matter. But in some special cases, such as freeze fs, we hope the transaction is fully on disk, it will introduce some bugs, for example, we may feeze the fs and dump the data in the disk, if the transction doesn't complete, we would dump inconsistent data. So we need fix the above problem for those cases. We fixes this problem by introducing a function: btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier() if we hope all the transaction is fully on the disk, even they are not running, we can use this function.
