ext4: check the extent status again before inserting delalloc block

[ Upstream commit 0ea6560a

 ]

ext4_da_map_blocks looks up for any extent entry in the extent status
tree (w/o i_data_sem) and then the looks up for any ondisk extent
mapping (with i_data_sem in read mode).

If it finds a hole in the extent status tree or if it couldn't find any
entry at all, it then takes the i_data_sem in write mode to add a da
entry into the extent status tree. This can actually race with page
mkwrite & fallocate path.

Note that this is ok between
1. ext4 buffered-write path v/s ext4_page_mkwrite(), because of the
   folio lock
2. ext4 buffered write path v/s ext4 fallocate because of the inode
   lock.

But this can race between ext4_page_mkwrite() & ext4 fallocate path

ext4_page_mkwrite()             ext4_fallocate()
 block_page_mkwrite()
  ext4_da_map_blocks()
   //find hole in extent status tree
                                 ext4_alloc_file_blocks()
                                  ext4_map_blocks()
                                   //allocate block and unwritten extent
   ext4_insert_delayed_block()
    ext4_da_reserve_space()
     //reserve one more block
    ext4_es_insert_delayed_block()
     //drop unwritten extent and add delayed extent by mistake

Then, the delalloc extent is wrong until writeback and the extra
reserved block can't be released any more and it triggers below warning:

 EXT4-fs (pmem2): Inode 13 (00000000bbbd4d23): i_reserved_data_blocks(1) not cleared!

Fix the problem by looking up extent status tree again while the
i_data_sem is held in write mode. If it still can't find any entry, then
we insert a new da entry into the extent status tree.
