Btrfs: be aware of btree inode write errors to avoid fs corruption
While we have a transaction ongoing, the VM might decide at any time to call btree_inode->i_mapping->a_ops->writepages(), which will start writeback of dirty pages belonging to btree nodes/leafs. This call might return an error or the writeback might finish with an error before we attempt to commit the running transaction. If this happens, we might have no way of knowing that such error happened when we are committing the transaction - because the pages might no longer be marked dirty nor tagged for writeback (if a subsequent modification to the extent buffer didn't happen before the transaction commit) which makes filemap_fdata[write|wait]_range unable to find such pages (even if they're marked with SetPageError). So if this happens we must abort the transaction, otherwise we commit a super block with btree roots that point to btree nodes/leafs whose content on disk is invalid - either garbage or the content of some node/leaf from a past generation that got cowed or deleted and is no longer valid (for this later case we end up getting error messages like "parent transid verify failed on 10826481664 wanted 25748 found 29562" when reading btree nodes/leafs from disk). Note that setting and checking AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC in the btree inode's i_mapping would not be enough because we need to distinguish between log tree extents (not fatal) vs non-log tree extents (fatal) and because the next call to filemap_fdatawait_range() will catch and clear such errors in the mapping - and that call might be from a log sync and not from a transaction commit, which means we would not know about the error at transaction commit time. Also, checking for the eb flag EXTENT_BUFFER_IOERR at transaction commit time isn't done and would not be completely reliable, as the eb might be removed from memory and read back when trying to get it, which clears that flag right before reading the eb's pages from disk, making us not know about the previous write error. Using the new 3 flags for the btree inode also makes us achieve the goal of AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC when writepages() returns success, started writeback for all dirty pages and before filemap_fdatawait_range() is called, the writeback for all dirty pages had already finished with errors - because we were not using AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC, filemap_fdatawait_range() would return success, as it could not know that writeback errors happened (the pages were no longer tagged for writeback).
