btrfs: add and use helpers for reading and writing last_log_commit
Currently, the last_log_commit of a root can be accessed concurrently without any lock protection. Readers can be calling btrfs_inode_in_log() early in a fsync call, which reads a root's last_log_commit, while a writer can change the last_log_commit while a log tree if being synced, at btrfs_sync_log(). Any races here should be harmless, and in the worst case they may cause a fsync to log an inode when it's not really needed, so nothing bad from a functional perspective. To avoid data race warnings from tools like KCSAN and other issues such as load and store tearing (amongst others, see [1]), create helpers to access the last_log_commit field of a root using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(), and use these helpers everywhere.
