Btrfs: Metadata ENOSPC handling for balance

This patch adds metadata ENOSPC handling for the balance code.
It is consisted by following major changes:

1. Avoid COW tree leave in the phrase of merging tree.

2. Handle interaction with snapshot creation.

3. make the backref cache can live across transactions.
