Btrfs: don't be as aggressive about using bitmaps

We have been creating bitmaps for small extents unconditionally forever.  This
was great when testing to make sure the bitmap stuff was working, but is
overkill normally.  So instead of always adding small chunks of free space to
bitmaps, only start doing it if we go past half of our extent threshold.  This
will keeps us from creating a bitmap for just one small free extent at the front
of the block group, and will make the allocator a little faster as a result.
Thanks,
