[PATCH] Btrfs: Fix memory corruption by ulist_add_merge() on 32bit arch
We've got bug reports that btrfs crashes when quota is enabled on
32bit kernel, typically with the Oops like below:

This indicates a NULL corruption in prefs_delayed list. The further
investigation and bisection pointed that the call of ulist_add_merge()
results in the corruption.
ulist_add_merge() takes u64 as aux and writes a 64bit value into
old_aux. The callers of this function in backref.c, however, pass a
pointer of a pointer to old_aux. That is, the function overwrites
64bit value on 32bit pointer. This caused a NULL in the adjacent
variable, in this case, prefs_delayed.
Here is a quick attempt to band-aid over this: a new function,
ulist_add_merge_ptr() is introduced to pass/store properly a pointer
value instead of u64. There are still ugly void ** cast remaining
in the callers because void ** cannot be taken implicitly. But, it's
safer than explicit cast to u64, anyway.

Alternatively, we can change the argument of aux and old_aux to a
pointer from u64, as backref.c is the only user of ulist_add_merge()
function. I'll cook up another patch if it's the preferred way.
