bcache: btree locking rework

Add a new lock, b->write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write -
a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations.

This means we can write out a btree node without taking b->lock, which _is_ held
for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the
journalling code) is called with a btree node locked.

Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling
rework is going to happen a lot more.

This also turns b->lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a
read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it
into a real intent lock at some point in the future.
