btrfs: fix warning when creating a directory with smack enabled

When we have smack enabled, during the creation of a directory smack may
attempt to add a "smack transmute" xattr on the inode, which results in
the following warning and trace:

This happens because at btrfs_mkdir() we call d_instantiate_new() while
holding a transaction handle, which results in the following call chain:

  btrfs_mkdir()
     trans = btrfs_start_transaction(root, 5);

     d_instantiate_new()
        smack_d_instantiate()
            __vfs_setxattr()
                btrfs_setxattr_trans()
                   btrfs_start_transaction()
                      start_transaction()
                         WARN_ON()
                           --> a tansaction start has TRANS_EXTWRITERS
                               set in its type
                         h->orig_rsv = h->block_rsv
                         h->block_rsv = NULL

     btrfs_end_transaction(trans)

Besides the warning triggered at start_transaction, we set the handle's
block_rsv to NULL which may cause some surprises later on.

So fix this by making btrfs_setxattr_trans() not start a transaction when
we already have a handle on one, stored in current->journal_info, and use
that handle. We are good to use the handle because at btrfs_mkdir() we did
reserve space for the xattr and the inode item.
