[RFC PATCH v1 5/6] btrfs: Adjust the default thread pool size when `wq_cpu_set` option is used

[Ammar Faizi]

If wq_cpu_set is specified, adjust thread_pool_size to the number of
CPUs in the set plus 2 to avoid the case where the number of CPUs in the
set is less than the default thread_pool_size + 2, which might cause the
thread pool to be starved. The thread_pool=%u mount option overrides
this adjusting behavior.
