Btrfs: do not use btrfs_end_transaction_throttle everywhere
A user reported a problem where things like open with O_CREAT would take up to 30 seconds when he had nfs activity on the same mount. This is because all of our quick metadata operations, like create, symlink etc all do btrfs_end_transaction_throttle, which if the transaction is blocked will wait for the commit to complete before it returns. This adds a ridiculous amount of latency and isn't really needed. The normal btrfs_end_transaction will mark the transaction as blocked and wake the transaction kthread up if it thinks the transaction needs to end (this being in the running out of global reserve space scenario), and this is all that is really needed since we've already done everything we're going to do, we just need to return. This should help people with the latency they were seeing when using synchronous heavy workloads.
