Btrfs: Worker thread optimizations

Browse Source 
This changes the worker thread pool to maintain a list of idle threads,
avoiding a complex search for a good thread to wake up.

Threads have two states:

idle - we try to reuse the last thread used in hopes of improving the batching
ratios

busy - each time a new work item is added to a busy task, the task is
rotated to the end of the line.
