Qu Wenruo 67378b7546 btrfs: fix symbolic link reading when bs > ps
[BUG DURING BS > PS TEST]
When running the following script on a btrfs whose block size is larger
than page size, e.g. 8K block size and 4K page size, it will trigger a
kernel BUG:

  # mkfs.btrfs -s 8k $dev
  # mount $dev $mnt
  # mkdir $mnt/dir
  # ln -s dir $mnt/link
  # ls $mnt/link

The call trace looks like this:

  BTRFS warning (device dm-2): support for block size 8192 with page size 4096 is experimental, some features may be missing
  BTRFS info (device dm-2): checking UUID tree
  BTRFS info (device dm-2): enabling ssd optimizations
  BTRFS info (device dm-2): enabling free space tree

Please note bs > ps support is still under development and the
enablement patch is not even in btrfs development branch.

[CAUSE]
Btrfs reuses its data folio read path to handle symbolic links, as the
symbolic link target is stored as an inline data extent.

But for newly created inodes, btrfs only set the minimal order if the
target inode is a regular file.

Thus for above newly created symbolic link, it doesn't properly respect
the minimal folio order, and triggered the above crash.

[FIX]
Call btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() unconditionally inside
btrfs_create_new_inode().

For symbolic links this will fix the crash as now the folio will meet
the minimal order.

For regular files this brings no change.

For directory/bdev/char and all the other types of inodes, they won't
go through the data read path, thus no effect either.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
