Btrfs: add flushoncommit mount option

The 'flushoncommit' mount option forces any data dirtied by a write in a
prior transaction to commit as part of the current commit.  This makes
the committed state a fully consistent view of the file system from the
application's perspective (i.e., it includes all completed file system
operations).  This was previously the behavior only when a snapshot is
created.

This is used by Ceph to ensure that completed writes make it to the
platter along with the metadata operations they are bound to (by
BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_{START,END}).
