PATCH RESEND 1/1 btrfs: inode: Don't compress if NODATASUM or NODATACOW set

As btrfs(5) specified:

Note
If nodatacow or nodatasum are enabled, compression is disabled.

If NODATASUM or NODATACOW set, we should not compress the extent.

Normally NODATACOW is detected properly in run_delalloc_range() so compression won't happen for NODATACOW.

However for NODATASUM we don't have any check, and it can cause compressed extent without csum pretty easily, just by:

mkfs.btrfs -f $dev
mount $dev $mnt -o nodatasum
touch $mnt/foobar
mount -o remount,datasum,compress $mnt
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 128K" $mnt/foobar

And in fact, we have bug report about corrupted compressed extent without proper data checksum so even RAID1 can't recover the corruption.
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199707)

Running compression without proper checksum could cause more damage when corruption happens, so there is no need to allow compression for NODATACSUM.
