btrfs-progs: extend balance args to take min/max usage filter
Add the overlapping usage and [usage_min, usage_max] members to the balance args. The min/max values are interpreted iff the corresponding flag BTRFS_BALANCE_ARGS_USAGE_RANGE is set. The minimum boundary is inclusive, maximum is exclusive: * usage_min <= chunk_usage < usage_max Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
