[BUG]
When a lot of subvolumes are created, there is a user report about
transaction aborted:

[CAUSE]
The root cause is we don't have unlimited resource for anonymous block
device number.
The anonymous block device pool only contains 1<<20 devices, and is
shared across a several fses, like ceph and overlayfs.

While btrfs has support for 1<<48 subvolumes, so it's just a problem of
time to hit such limit.

[WORKAROUND]
Since it's not possible to completely solve the problem, we can only
workaround it.

Firstly, we can reduce the user of anon_dev. Data reloc tree is not visible
to users, thus it doesn't need anon_dev at all.

This patch will do extra check on root objectid, to rule out roots who
don't need anon_dev.
Although currently it's only data reloc tree and orphan roots.
