btrfs: delalloc for page dirtied out-of-band in fixup worker

 We encountered an issue that was easily observable on s/390 systems but
 could really happen anywhere. The timing just seemed to hit reliably
 on s/390 with limited memory.

 The gist is that when an unexpected set_page_dirty() happened, we'd
 run into the BUG() in btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker since it wasn't
 properly set up for delalloc.

 This patch does the following:
 - Performs the missing delalloc in the fixup worker
 - Allow the start hook to return -EBUSY which informs __extent_writepage
   that it should mark the page skipped and not to redirty it. This is
   required since the fixup worker can fail with -ENOSPC and the page
   will have already been redirtied. That causes an Oops in
   drop_outstanding_extents later. Retrying the fixup worker could
   lead to an infinite loop. Deferring the page redirty also saves us
   some cycles since the page would be stuck in a resubmit-redirty loop
   until the fixup worker completes. It's not harmful, just wasteful.
 - If the fixup worker fails, we mark the page and mapping as errored,
   and end the writeback, similar to what we would do had the page
   actually been submitted to writeback.
