btrfs: don't fail writeback when allocating the compression context fails
[ Upstream commit 973fb26e81a9f59dfe45b079a698c0e238f7bf69 ]
If cow_file_range_async fails to allocate the asynchronous writeback
context, it currently returns an error and entirely fails the writeback.
This is not a good idea as a writeback failure is a non-temporary error
condition that will make the file system unusable. Just fall back to
synchronous uncompressed writeback instead. This requires us to delay
setting the BTRFS_INODE_HAS_ASYNC_EXTENT flag until we've committed to
the async writeback.
The compression checks INODE_NOCOMPRESS and FORCE_COMPRESS are moved
from cow_file_range_async to the preceding checks btrfs_run_delalloc_range().
