Light testing with my swapme script [1] and btrfsck to make sure I
didn't swap to the wrong place. I was meaning to put this through
something more intensive like a kernel build, thanks for the reminder.
As opposed to the previous approach, the swapin/swapout paths are
simple, core code, so the edge cases I'm worried about are really in
activate/deactivate and other ioctls breaking things.

Yup, I've been running it with lockdep, no warnings. The nice part of
this approach is that there's no new locking involved, just whatever the
swap code does itself.

Nope, if you look at btrfs_ioctl_setflags(), you can clear the inode
flag even if there are compressed extents.

[em->start, em->start + em->len) will always contain start.
start - em->start is the offset of start from the beginning of the
extent we just found. It should always be zero since we're walking
sequentially and we have the extents locked, but I wanted to be
defensive here.
