btrfs: fix partial loss of prealloc extent past i_size after fsync

When we have an inode with a prealloc extent that starts at an offset
lower than the i_size and there is another prealloc extent that starts at
an offset beyond i_size, we can end up losing part of the first prealloc
extent (the part that starts at i_size) and have an implicit hole if we
fsync the file and then have a power failure.

Consider the following example with comments explaining how and why it
happens.

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  # Create our test file with 2 consecutive prealloc extents, each with a
  # size of 128Kb, and covering the range from 0 to 256Kb, with a file
  # size of 0.
  $ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 128K" /mnt/foo
  $ xfs_io -c "falloc -k 128K 128K" /mnt/foo

  # Fsync the file to record both extents in the log tree.
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo

  # Now do a redudant extent allocation for the range from 0 to 64Kb.
  # This will merely increase the file size from 0 to 64Kb. Instead we
  # could also do a truncate to set the file size to 64Kb.
  $ xfs_io -c "falloc 0 64K" /mnt/foo

  # Fsync the file, so we update the inode item in the log tree with the
  # new file size (64Kb). This also ends up setting the number of bytes
  # for the first prealloc extent to 64Kb. This is done by the truncation
  # at btrfs_log_prealloc_extents().
  # This means that if a power failure happens after this, a write into
  # the file range 64Kb to 128Kb will not use the prealloc extent and
  # will result in allocation of a new extent.
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo

  # Now set the file size to 256K with a truncate and then fsync the file.
  # Since no changes happened to the extents, the fsync only updates the
  # i_size in the inode item at the log tree. This results in an implicit
  # hole for the file range from 64Kb to 128Kb, something which fsck will
  # complain when not using the NO_HOLES feature if we replay the log
  # after a power failure.
  $ xfs_io -c "truncate 256K" -c "fsync" /mnt/foo

So instead of always truncating the log to the inode's current i_size at
btrfs_log_prealloc_extents(), check first if there's a prealloc extent
that starts at an offset lower than the i_size and with a length that
crosses the i_size - if there is one, just make sure we truncate to a
size that corresponds to the end offset of that prealloc extent, so
that we don't lose the part of that extent that starts at i_size if a
power failure happens.

A test case for fstests follows soon.
