Btrfs: improve fsync by filtering extents that we want



This is based on Josef's "Btrfs: turbo charge fsync".

The above Josef's patch performs very good in random sync write test,
because we won't have too much extents to merge.

However, it does not performs good on the test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar bs=4k count=12500 oflag=sync

The reason is when we do sequencial sync write, we need to merge the
current extent just with the previous one, so that we can get accumulated
extents to log:

A(4k) --> AA(8k) --> AAA(12k) --> AAAA(16k) ...

So we'll have to flush more and more checksum into log tree, which is the
bottleneck according to my tests.

But we can avoid this by telling fsync the real extents that are needed
to be logged.

With this, I did the above dd sync write test (size=50m),

         w/o (orig)   w/ (josef's)   w/ (this)
SATA      104KB/s       109KB/s       121KB/s
ramdisk   1.5MB/s       1.5MB/s       10.7MB/s (613%)
