Qu Wenruo d1a020a8d7 btrfs: add mount time auto fix for orphan fst entries
[BUG]
Before btrfs-progs v6.16.1 release, mkfs.btrfs can leave free space tree
entries for deleted chunks:

  # mkfs.btrfs -f -O fst $dev
  # btrfs ins dump-tree -t chunk $dev
  btrfs-progs v6.16
  chunk tree
  leaf 22036480 items 4 free space 15781 generation 8 owner CHUNK_TREE
  leaf 22036480 flags 0x1(WRITTEN) backref revision 1
	 item 0 key (DEV_ITEMS DEV_ITEM 1) itemoff 16185 itemsize 98
	 item 1 key (FIRST_CHUNK_TREE CHUNK_ITEM 13631488) itemoff 16105 itemsize 80
	 ^^^ The first chunk is at 13631488
	 item 2 key (FIRST_CHUNK_TREE CHUNK_ITEM 22020096) itemoff 15993 itemsize 112
	 item 3 key (FIRST_CHUNK_TREE CHUNK_ITEM 30408704) itemoff 15881 itemsize 112

  # btrfs ins dump-tree -t free-space-tree $dev

This can trigger btrfs check errors.

[CAUSE]
It's a bug in free space tree implementation of btrfs-progs, which
doesn't delete involved fst entries for the to-be-deleted chunk/block
group.

[ENHANCEMENT]
The mostly common fix is to clear the space cache and rebuild it, but
that requires a ro->rw remount which may not be possible for rootfs,
and also relies on users to use "clear_cache" mount option manually.

Here introduce a kernel fix for it, which will delete any entries that
is before the first block group automatically at the first RW mount.

For filesystems without such problem, the overhead is just a single tree
search and no modification to the free space tree, thus the overhead
should be minimal.
