mainlining shenanigans

Change the behavior of rmdir(2) and allow it to delete an empty subvolume by using btrfs_delete_subvolume() which is used by btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy(). This is a change in behaviour and has been requested by users. Deleting the subvolume by ioctl requires root permissions while the rmdir way does works with standard tools and syscalls for all users that can access the subvolume. The main usecase is to allow 'rm -rf /path/with/subvols' to simply work. We were not able to find any nasty usability surprises, the intention is to do the destructive rm. Without allowing rmdir, this would have to be followed by the ioctl subvolume deletion, which is more of an annoyance. Implementation details: The required lock for @dir and inode of @dentry is already acquired in vfs layer. We need some check before deleting a subvolume. Permission check is done in vfs layer, emptiness check is in btrfs_rmdir() and additional check (i.e. neither the subvolume is a default subvolume nor send is in progress) is in btrfs_delete_subvolume(). Note that in btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy(), d_delete() is called after btrfs_delete_subvolume(). For rmdir(2), d_delete() is called in vfs layer later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
