Btrfs: compress_file_range() change page dirty status once
We need to call extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io()
on compression range to prevent application from changing
page content, while pages compressing.
extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io() runs on each loop iteration,
"(end - start)" can be much (up to 1024 times) bigger
then compression range (BTRFS_MAX_UNCOMPRESSED).
The start pointer is advanced each time we manage to compress part of
the range. The end pointer does not change so we could redirty the
remaining parts repeatedly.
Fix that behaviour by call extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io()
only once, the first time it happens.
This is the safest but probably not the best behaviour. Previous
iterations of the patch tried to redirty only the range that we were not
able to compress. This has been refused by David for safety reasons, the
writeout callchain is complex and there could be some path that relies
on redirtying the entire unwritten range.
