btrfs: avoid blocking on page locks with nowait dio on compressed range

If we are doing NOWAIT direct IO read/write and our inode has compressed
extents, we call filemap_fdatawrite_range() against the range in order
to wait for compressed writeback to complete, since the generic code at
iomap_dio_rw() calls filemap_write_and_wait_range() once, which is not
enough to wait for compressed writeback to complete.

This call to filemap_fdatawrite_range() can block on page locks, since
the first writepages() on a range that we will try to compress results
only in queuing a work to compress the data while holding the pages
locked.

Even though the generic code at iomap_dio_rw() will do the right thing
and return -EAGAIN for NOWAIT requests in case there are pages in the
range, we can still end up at btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() with pages in the
range because either of the following can happen:

1) Memory mapped writes, as we haven't locked the range yet;

2) Buffered reads might have started, which lock the pages, and we do
   the filemap_fdatawrite_range() call before locking the file range.

So don't call filemap_fdatawrite_range() at btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() if we
are doing a NOWAIT read/write. Instead call filemap_range_needs_writeback()
to check if there are any locked, dirty, or under writeback pages, and
return -EAGAIN if that's the case.
