btrfs: defrag: fix deadlock between defrag and delalloc space reservation
While running fsstress with autodefrag and flushoncommit, hit a deadlock
due to the fact that defrag reserves delalloc space while it's holding
dirty and locked folios, besides the extent range lock. The stack traces
are the following:

What happens is the following:
1) The cleaner kthread is running autodefrag, and in defrag_one_range()
it acquired all the folios for the range and locked them.
Then it locked the extent range in the inode's iotree.
It got two subranges from defrag_collect_targets(), the first one
with folio A and the second one with folio B.
After it defragged the first subrange, folio A remains locked and
dirty - it's only unlocked when defrag_one_range() returns.
When it attempts to defrag the second subrange (containing folio B),
btrfs_delalloc_reserve_space() creates a space reservation ticket,
due to lack of free metadata space and blocks waiting for the async
metadata reclaim task to free space and wake it up;
2) The async reclaim metadata task attempts to commit the current
transaction, but it blocks because there is another task that
started the commit first;
3) A task creating a snapshot is committing the transaction and
because the fs was mounted with flushoncommit, it calls
try_to_writeback_inodes_sb(), which spawns a task to flush
delalloc and waits for it to complete;
4) The task flushing delalloc (kworker/u49:7), finds that folio A for
the inode being defragged is dirty, so it tries to lock it...
But it blocks because folio A is locked by the defrag task (the
cleaner kthread) which is blocked waiting for the reservation
ticket to be served, but the async reclaim metadata task is
blocked waiting for the transaction commit, which in turn is
blocked waiting for the delalloc flush task, which is trying to
lock folio A, resulting in a deadlock.
The same type of problem can happen if the async reclaim task starts to
flush delalloc, as that requires both locking the folio and the extent
range in the inode's io tree, and in this case we don't need the fs to
be mounted with flushoncommit. This type of problem has ocurred several
times in the past with reflinks for example, where we had a dirty folio
while holding the extent range locked and then starting a transaction
blocked waiting for the async reclaim task due to lack of free metadata
space.
So fix this by reserving delalloc space before locking folios and locking
the extent range in the inode's iotree. We can not simply unlock the
folios for each subrange given by defrag_collect_targets() after we defrag
it because the same folio may be present too in the next subrange (due to
large folios).
