Btrfs: prevent loops in the directory tree when creating snapshots

For a directory tree:

/mnt/subvolA/subvolB

btrfsctl -s /mnt/subvolA/subvolB /mnt

Will create a directory loop with subvolA under subvolB.  This
commit uses the forward refs for each subvol and snapshot to error out
before creating the loop.
