btrfs: don't fail writeback when allocating the compression context fails

Browse source

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().
