Btrfs: fix race between mmap writes and compression
Btrfs uses page_mkwrite to ensure stable pages during crc calculations and mmap workloads. We call clear_page_dirty_for_io before we do any crcs, and this forces any application with the file mapped to wait for the crc to finish before it is allowed to change the file. With compression on, the clear_page_dirty_for_io step is happening after we've compressed the pages. This means the applications might be changing the pages while we are compressing them, and some of those modifications might not hit the disk. This commit adds the clear_page_dirty_for_io before compression starts and makes sure to redirty the page if we have to fallback to uncompressed IO as well.
