btrfs: nowait aio: Correct assignment of pos
Assigning pos for usage early messes up in append mode, where the pos is
re-assigned in generic_write_checks(). Assign pos later to get the
correct position to write from iocb->ki_pos.
Since check_can_nocow also uses the value of pos, we shift
generic_write_checks() before check_can_nocow(). Checks with IOCB_DIRECT
are present in generic_write_checks(), so checking for IOCB_NOWAIT is
enough.
Also, put locking sequence in the fast path.
This fixes a user visible bug, as reported:
"apparently breaks several shell related features on my system.
In zsh history stopped working, because no new entries are added
anymore.
I fist noticed the issue when I tried to build mplayer. It uses a shell
script to generate a help_mp.h file:
[...]
Here is a simple testcase:
% echo "foo" >> test
% echo "foo" >> test
% cat test
foo
%
"
