Also I believe this patch renders the wake_up_process in
btrfs_commit_super a null op so it can also be removed, which leaves a
single place that could wake up the cleaner - transaction_kthread.

So can't we stop transaction and cleaner thread right after setting
CLOSING_FS. And commit the transaction in close_ctree whenever we deem
necessary (in btrfs_commit_super for example) ?
