btrfs: use a kmem_cache for block groups

We are currently allocating block groups using the generic slabs, and
given that the size of btrfs_block_group structure is 672 bytes (on a
release kernel), we end up using the kmalloc-1024 slab and therefore
waste quite some memory since on a 4K page system we can only fit 4
block groups per page. The block groups are also allocated and
delallocated with some frequency, specially if we have auto reclaim
enabled.

So use a kmem_cache for block groups, this way on a 4K page system we
can fit 6 block groups per page instead of 4.
