For the upcoming asynchronoyus discard support we need to be able to delay freeing the CIL context until the last discard request that reference it has completed. Add a reference count to the CIL context, and only clear the busy extents and free the CIL context structure when it reaches zero, and a work item to allow freeing it from irq context. Note that this means delaying the clearing of the busy extents for a little bit even on non-discard mounts, but with the new busy extent trim/reuse code there is no real life impact of this change.
