btrfs: Keep one more workspace around

find_workspace() allocates up to num_online_cpus() + 1 workspaces.
free_workspace() will only keep num_online_cpus() workspaces. When
(de)compressing we will allocate num_online_cpus() + 1 workspaces, then
free one, and repeat. Instead, we can just keep num_online_cpus() + 1
workspaces around, and never have to allocate/free another workspace in the
common case.

I tested on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM. I mounted a
BtrFS partition with -o compress-force={lzo,zlib,zstd} and logged whenever
a workspace was allocated of freed. Then I copied vmlinux (527 MB) to the
partition. Before the patch, during the copy it would allocate and free 5-6
workspaces. After, it only allocated the initial 3. This held true for lzo,
zlib, and zstd. The time it took to execute cp vmlinux /mnt/btrfs && sync
dropped from 1.70s to 1.44s with lzo compression, and from 2.04s to 1.80s
for zstd compression.
