btrfs: add back missing dirty page rate limiting to defrag

A defrag operation can dirty a lot of pages, specially if operating on
the entire file or a large file range. Any task dirtying pages should
periodically call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited(), as stated in that
function's comments, otherwise they can leave too many dirty pages in
the system. This is what we did before the refactoring in 5.16, and
it should have remained, just like in the buffered write path and
relocation. So restore that behaviour.
