David Sterba 100d57025c btrfs: don't use slab cache for struct btrfs_delalloc_work
Although we prefer to use separate caches for various structs, it seems
better not to do that for struct btrfs_delalloc_work. Objects of this
type are allocated rarely, when transaction commit calls
btrfs_start_delalloc_roots, requesting delayed iputs.

The objects are temporary (with some IO involved) but still allocated
and freed within __start_delalloc_inodes. Memory allocation failure is
handled.

The slab cache is empty most of the time (observed on several systems),
so if we need to allocate a new slab object, the first one has to
allocate a full page. In a potential case of low memory conditions this
might fail with higher probability compared to using the generic slab
caches.
