Btrfs: fix the deadlock between the transaction start/attach and commit

Now btrfs_commit_transaction() does this

ret = btrfs_run_ordered_operations(root, 0)

which async flushes all inodes on the ordered operations list, it introduced
a deadlock that transaction-start task, transaction-commit task and the flush
workers waited for each other.
(See the following URL to get the detail

As we know, if ->in_commit is set, it means someone is committing the
current transaction, we should not try to join it if we are not JOIN
or JOIN_NOLOCK, wait is the best choice for it. In this way, we can avoid
the above problem. In this way, there is another benefit: there is no new
transaction handle to block the transaction which is on the way of commit,
once we set ->in_commit.
