Btrfs: fix corruption after write/fsync failure + fsync + log recovery
While writing to a file, in inode.c:cow_file_range() (and same applies to
submit_compressed_extents()), after reserving an extent for the file data,
we create a new extent map for the written range and insert it into the
extent map cache. After that, we create an ordered operation, but if it
fails (due to a transient/temporary-ENOMEM), we return without dropping
that extent map, which points to a reserved extent that is freed when we
return. A subsequent incremental fsync (when the btrfs inode doesn't have
the flag BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC) considers this extent map valid and
logs a file extent item based on that extent map, which points to a disk
extent that doesn't contain valid data - it was freed by us earlier, at this
point it might contain any random/garbage data.
Therefore, if we reach an error condition when cowing a file range after
we added the new extent map to the cache, drop it from the cache before
returning.
Some sequence of steps that lead to this:
