Btrfs: change the ordered tree to use a spinlock instead of a mutex

The ordered tree used to need a mutex, but currently all we use it for is to
protect the rb_tree, and a spin_lock is just fine for that.  Using a spin_lock
instead makes dbench run a little faster, 58 mb/s instead of 51 mb/s, and have
less latency, 3445.138 ms instead of 3820.633 ms.
