Btrfs: fix very slow inode eviction and fs unmount

The inode eviction can be very slow, because during eviction we
tell the VFS to truncate all of the inode's pages. This results
in calls to btrfs_invalidatepage() which in turn does calls to
lock_extent_bits() and clear_extent_bit(). These calls result in
too many merges and splits of extent_state structures, which
consume a lot of time and cpu when the inode has many pages. In
some scenarios I have experienced umount times higher than 15
minutes, even when there's no pending IO (after a btrfs fs sync).

A quick way to reproduce this issue:

$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3
$ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs
$ cd /mnt/btrfs
$ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \
    --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \
    --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run
$ time btrfs fi sync .
FSSync '.'

real	0m25.457s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.092s
$ cd ..
$ time umount /mnt/btrfs

real	1m38.234s
user	0m0.000s
sys	1m25.760s

The same test on ext4 runs much faster:

$ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb3
$ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/ext4
$ cd /mnt/ext4
$ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \
    --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \
    --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run
$ sync
$ cd ..
$ time umount /mnt/ext4

real	0m3.626s
user	0m0.004s
sys	0m3.012s

After this patch, the unmount (inode evictions) is much faster:

$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3
$ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs
$ cd /mnt/btrfs
$ sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=128 --file-total-size=16G \
    --file-test-mode=seqwr --num-threads=128 \
    --file-block-size=16384 --max-time=60 --max-requests=0 run
$ time btrfs fi sync .
FSSync '.'

real	0m26.774s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.084s
$ cd ..
$ time umount /mnt/btrfs

real	0m1.811s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m1.564s
