PATCH 1/1 btrfs: delalloc for page dirtied out-of-band in fixup worker

We encountered an issue that was easily observable on s/390 systems but could really happen anywhere. The timing just seemed to hit reliably on s/390 with limited memory.

The gist is that when an unexpected set_page_dirty() happened, we'd run into the BUG() in btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker since it wasn't properly set up for delalloc.

This patch does the following:
- Performs the missing delalloc in the fixup worker
- Allow the start hook to return -EBUSY which informs __extent_writepage that it should mark the page skipped and not to redirty it. This is required since the fixup worker can fail with -ENOSPC and the page will have already been redirtied. That causes an Oops in drop_outstanding_extents later. Retrying the fixup worker could lead to an infinite loop. Deferring the page redirty also saves us some cycles since the page would be stuck in a resubmit-redirty loop until the fixup worker completes. It's not harmful, just wasteful.
- If the fixup worker fails, we mark the page and mapping as errored, and end the writeback, similar to what we would do had the page actually been submitted to writeback.
