btrfs: don't wait for writeback on clean pages in extent_write_cache_pages
commit 5c256998 upstream. __extent_writepage could have started on more pages than the one it was called for. This happens regularly for zoned file systems, and in theory could happen for compressed I/O if the worker thread was executed very quickly. For such pages extent_write_cache_pages waits for writeback to complete before moving on to the next page, which is highly inefficient as it blocks the flusher thread. Port over the PageDirty check that was added to write_cache_pages in commit 515f4a03 ("mm: write_cache_pages optimise page cleaning") to fix this.
