I ran xfstests and did not find the lockups I was finding earlier.
Unfortunately, I don't have the lockups, but the process would wait for
the extent_bits to get unlocked.

This patch reduces the amount of time btrfs has to fallback to the
buffered path. Probably I should point this out in the patch header.
The other two patches are required to make sure we don't err during
transient release page errors, while this one reduces the amount of
these transient errors in the first place.
