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.

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).
