Btrfs: deal with convert_extent_bit errors to avoid fs corruption

When committing a transaction or a log, we look for btree extents that
need to be durably persisted by searching for ranges in a io tree that
have some bits set (EXTENT_DIRTY or EXTENT_NEW). We then attempt to clear
those bits and set the EXTENT_NEED_WAIT bit, with calls to the function
convert_extent_bit, and then start writeback for the extents.

That function however can return an error (at the moment only -ENOMEM
is possible, specially when it does GFP_ATOMIC allocation requests
through alloc_extent_state_atomic) - that means the ranges didn't got
the EXTENT_NEED_WAIT bit set (or at least not for the whole range),
which in turn means a call to btrfs_wait_marked_extents() won't find
those ranges for which we started writeback, causing a transaction
commit or a log commit to persist a new superblock without waiting
for the writeback of extents in that range to finish first.

Therefore if a crash happens after persisting the new superblock and
before writeback finishes, we have a superblock pointing to roots that
weren't fully persisted or roots that point to nodes or leafs that weren't
fully persisted, causing all sorts of unexpected/bad behaviour as we endup
reading garbage from disk or the content of some node/leaf from a past
generation that got cowed or deleted and is no longer valid (for this later
case we end up getting error messages like "parent transid verify failed on
X wanted Y found Z" when reading btree nodes/leafs from disk).
