    We have a race between deleting an unused block group and balancing the
    same block group that leads to an assertion failure/BUG(), producing the
    following trace:

            acquires fs_info->cleaner_mutex
            relocate_block_group()

                  the extent tree from bg X
            unlocks fs_info->cleaner_mutex
    
          btrfs_relocate_block_group(bg X) returns
    
        btrfs_remove_chunk(bg X)
           extent map not found
              --> ASSERT(0)
    
    Fix this by using a new mutex to make sure these 2 operations, block
    group relocation and removal, are serialized.
    
    This issue is reproducible by running fstests generic/038 (which stresses
    chunk allocation and automatic removal of unused block groups) together
    with the following balance loop:
    
        while true; do btrfs balance start -dusage=0 <mountpoint> ; done
