Measure the time spent running various operations that extend btrfs
transaction completion times (`LOGICAL_INO`, tmpfiles, and dedupe)
and arrange for each operation to run for not less than the average
amount of time by adding a sleep after each operation that takes less
than the average.
The delay after each operation is intended to slow down the rate of
deferred and long-running requests from bees to match the rate at which
btrfs is actually completing them. This may help avoid big spikes in
latency if btrfs has so many requests queued that it has to force a
commit to release memory.

While a snapshot is being deleted, there will be a continuous stream of

Dedupe is not possible on a subvol where a btrfs send is running:
BTRFS warning (device dm-22): cannot deduplicate to root 259417 while send operations are using it (1 in progress)
btrfs informs a process with EAGAIN that a dedupe could not be performed
due to a running send operation.
It would be possible to save the crawler state at the affected point,
fork a new crawler that avoids the subvol under send, and resume the
crawler state after a successful dedupe is detected; however, this only
helps the intersection of the set of users who have unrelated subvols
that don't share extents, and the set of users who cannot simply delay
dedupe until send is finished. The simplest approach is to simply stop
and wait until the send goes away.
The simplest approach is taken here. When a dedupe fails with EAGAIN,
affected Tasks will poll, approximately once per transaction, until the
dedupe succeeds or fails with a different error.
bees dedupe performance corresponds with the availability of subvols that
can accept dedupe requests. While the dedupe is paused, no new Tasks can
be performed by the worker thread. If subvols are small and isolated
from the bulk of the filesystem data, the result will be a small but
partial loss of dedupe performance during the send as some worker threads
get stuck on the sending subvol. If subvols heavily share extents with
duplicate data in other subvols, worker threads will all become blocked,
and the entire bees process will pause until at least some of the running
sends terminate.
During the polling for btrfs send, the dedupe Task will hold its dst
file open. This open FD won't interfere with snapshot or file delete
because send subvols are always read-only (it is not possible to delete
a file on a RO subvol, open or otherwise) and send itself holds the
affected subvol open, preventing its deletion. Once the send terminates,
the dedupe will terminate soon after, and the normal FD release can occur.
This pausing during btrfs send is unrelated to the
`--workaround-btrfs-send` option, although `--workaround-btrfs-send` will
cause the pausing to trigger less often. It applies to all scan modes.

The "done" pointer and the "%done" fields are still useful because they
indicate _actual_ progress, not the work that has been _promised_.
So it is possible for a crawl to be "finished" (all extents queued)
but not "100.0000%" (some of those extents still active or in the queue).
"deferred" state isn't particularly useful, so drop it.
"finished" state implies no ETA, so that column is unused.

ETA is calculated using a sample obtained by snooping on bees's normal
crawling operations.
This sample is heavily biased and not representative of the entire
filesystem. If the distribution of extent sizes in the filesystem is
not uniform, the ETA can be wildly wrong.
Collecting an accurate sample set would require extra IO and CPU time
which should be spent doing dedupes instead.
Explicitly label the ETA as inaccurate to avoid having too many users
report the same bug.

These are simple on/off switches for the task queue. They are lightweight
requests for bees to be paused temporarily, but allow bees to release
open files and save progress while paused.
These signals are an alternative to SIGSTOP and SIGCONT, or using the
cgroup freezer's FROZEN and THAWED states, which pause and resume the
bees process, but do not allow the bees process to release open files
or save progress. Snapshot and file deletes can occur on the filesystem
while bees is paused by SIGUSR1 but not by SIGSTOP.
These signals are also an alternative to SIGTERM and restart, which
flush out the whole hash table and progress state on exit, and read
the whole table back into memory on restart.
This feature is experimental and may be replaced by a more general
configuration or runtime control mechanism in the future.

When paused, TaskConsumer threads will eventually notice the paused

Commit 72c3bf8438830b65cae7bdaff126053e562280e5 ("fs: handle ENOENT
within lib") was meant to prevent exceptions when a subvol is deleted.
If the search ioctl fails, the kernel won't set nr_items in the
ioctl output, which means `nr_items` still has the input value. When
ENOENT is detected, `this->nr_items` is set to 0, then later `*this =
ioctl_ptr->key` overwrites `this->nr_items` with the original requested
number of items.
This replaced the ENOENT exception with an exception triggered by
interpreting garbage in the memory buffer. The number of exceptions
was reduced because the memory buffers are frequently reused, but upper
layers would then reject the data or ignore it because it didn't match
the key range.
Fix by setting `ioctl_ptr->key.nr_items`, which then overwrites
`this->nr_items`, so the loop that extracts items from the ioctl data
gets the right number of items (i.e. zero).

In some cases the offset and size arguments were flipped when checking to
see if a range had already been read. This would have been OK as long as
the same mistake had been made consistently, since `bees_readahead_check`
only does a cache lookup on the parameters, it doesn't try to use them to
read a file. Alas, there was one case where the correct order was used,
albeit a relatively rare one.
Fix all the calls to use the correct order.
Also fix a comment: the recent request cache is global to all threads.

There are two crawl_maps in extent scan's next_transid: one gets
initialized, the other gets used. This works OK as long as bees is
resuming an existing scan, because the two maps are identical; however,
but it fails if bees is starting without an existing set of crawl data,
and one of the two maps is empty or partially filled.
The failure is intermittent, as the crawl map is being populated at
the same time next_transid runs. It will eventually be completed after
several transaction cycles, at which point bees runs normally.
It does add significant delays during startup for benchmarks.
There's only one crawl_map in extent scan, it always has the same
crawlers, and extent scan's `next_transid` creates it by itself.
Ignore the map from BeesRoots/BeesCrawl.

Replace pointers in the "done" and "total" columns with estimated data
sizes for each size tier. The estimation is based on statistics
collected from extents scanned during the current bees run.
Move the total size for the entire filesystem up to the heading.
Report the _completed_ position (i.e. the one that would be saved in
`beescrawl.dat`), not the _queued_ position (i.e. the one where the
next Task would be created in memory).
At the end of the data, the crawl pointer ends up at some random point
in the filesystem just after the newest extent, so the progress gets to
99.7% and then goes to some random value like 47% or 3%, not to 100%.
Report "deferred" in the "done" column when the crawler is waiting for
the next transid, and "finished" in the "%done" column when the crawler
has reached the end of the data. Suppress the ETA when finished. This
makes it clear that there's no further work to do for these crawlers.

The sorting avoids problematic read orders, like extent refs in the same
inode with descending offsets, that btrfs is not optimized for.
Putting everything in one Task keeps the queue sizes small, and
