When splitting a leaf or node from one of the trees that are modified when
flushing pending block groups (extent, chunk, device and free space trees),
we need to allocate a new tree block, which in turn can result in the need
to allocate a new block group. After allocating the new block group we may
need to flush new block groups that were previously allocated during the
course of the current transaction, which is what may cause a deadlock due
to attempts to write lock twice the same leaf or node, as when splitting
a leaf or node we are holding a write lock on it and its parent node.
The same type of deadlock can also happen when increasing the tree's
height, since we are holding a lock on the existing root while allocating
the tree block to use as the new root node.
An example trace when the deadlock happens during the leaf split path is:

Fix this by preventing the flushing of new blocks groups when splitting a
leaf/node and when inserting a new root node for one of the trees modified
by the flushing operation, similar to what is done when COWing a node/leaf
from on of these trees.
