Btrfs: fix leaf corruption caused by ENOSPC while hole punching

While running a stress test with multiple threads writing to the same btrfs
file system, I ended up with a situation where a leaf was corrupted in that
it had 2 file extent item keys that had the same exact key. I was able to
detect this quickly thanks to the following patch which triggers an assertion
as soon as a leaf is marked dirty if there are duplicated keys or out of order
keys:

    Btrfs: check if items are ordered when a leaf is marked dirty
    (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3955431/)

Basically while running the test, I got the following in dmesg:

So this is caused by getting an -ENOSPC error while punching a file hole, more
specifically, we get -ENOSPC error from __btrfs_drop_extents in the while loop
of file.c:btrfs_punch_hole() when it's unable to modify the btree to delete one
or more file extent items due to lack of enough free space. When this happens,
in btrfs_punch_hole(), we attempt to reclaim free space by switching our transaction
block reservation object to root->fs_info->trans_block_rsv, end our transaction and
start a new transaction basically - and, we keep increasing our current offset
(cur_offset) as long as it's smaller than the end of the target range (lockend) -
this makes use leave the loop with cur_offset == drop_end which in turn makes us
call fill_holes() for inserting a file extent item that represents a 0 bytes range
hole (and this insertion succeeds, as in the meanwhile more space became available).

This 0 bytes file hole extent item is a problem because any subsequent caller of
__btrfs_drop_extents (regular file writes, or fallocate calls for e.g.), with a
start file offset that is equal to the offset of the hole, will not remove this
extent item due to the following conditional in the while loop of
__btrfs_drop_extents:

    if (extent_end <= search_start) {
            path->slots[0]++;
            goto next_slot;
    }

This later makes the call to setup_items_for_insert() (at the very end of
__btrfs_drop_extents), insert a new file extent item with the same offset as
the 0 bytes file hole extent item that follows it. Needless is to say that this
causes chaos, either when reading the leaf from disk (btree_readpage_end_io_hook),
where we perform leaf sanity checks or in subsequent operations that manipulate
file extent items, as in the fallocate call as shown by the dmesg trace above.

Without my other patch to perform the leaf sanity checks once a leaf is marked
as dirty (if the integrity checker is enabled), it would have been much harder
to debug this issue.

This change might fix a few similar issues reported by users in the mailing
list regarding assertion failures in btrfs_set_item_key_safe calls performed
by __btrfs_drop_extents, such as the following report:

    http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/32938

Asking fill_holes() to create a 0 bytes wide file hole item also produced the
first warning in the trace above, as we passed a range to btrfs_drop_extent_cache
that has an end smaller (by -1) than its start.

On 3.14 kernels this issue manifests itself through leaf corruption, as we get
duplicated file extent item keys in a leaf when calling setup_items_for_insert(),
but on older kernels, setup_items_for_insert() isn't called by __btrfs_drop_extents(),
instead we have callers of __btrfs_drop_extents(), namely the functions
inode.c:insert_inline_extent() and inode.c:insert_reserved_file_extent(), calling
btrfs_insert_empty_item() to insert the new file extent item, which would fail with
error -EEXIST, instead of inserting a duplicated key - which is still a serious
issue as it would make all similar file extent item replace operations keep
failing if they target the same file range.
