btrfs: allocate raid type kobjects dynamically
We are currently allocating space_info objects in an array when we allocate space_info. When a user does something like: # btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 -dconvert=raid1 /mnt # btrfs balance start -mconvert=single -dconvert=single /mnt -f # btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 -dconvert=raid1 / We can end up with memory corruption since the kobject hasn't been reinitialized properly and the name pointer was left set. The rationale behind allocating them statically was to avoid creating a separate kobject container that just contained the raid type. It used the index in the array to determine the index. Ultimately, though, this wastes more memory than it saves in all but the most complex scenarios and introduces kobject lifetime questions. This patch allocates the kobjects dynamically instead. Note that we also remove the kobject_get/put of the parent kobject since kobject_add and kobject_del do that internally.
