Btrfs: fix hole detection during file fsync

Browse Source 
The file hole detection logic during a file fsync wasn't correct,
because it didn't look back (in a previous leaf) for the last file
extent item that can be in a leaf to the left of our leaf and that
has a generation lower than the current transaction id. This made it
assume that a hole exists when it really doesn't exist in the file.

Such false positive hole detection happens in the following scenario:

* We have a file that has many file extent items, covering 3 or more
  btree leafs (the first leaf must contain non file extent items too).

* Two ranges of the file are modified, with their extent items being
  located at 2 different leafs and those leafs aren't consecutive.

* When processing the second modified leaf, we weren't checking if
  some file extent item exists that is located in some leaf that is
  between our 2 modified leafs, and therefore assumed the range defined
  between the last file extent item in the first leaf and the first file
  extent item in the second leaf matched a hole.

Fortunately this didn't result in overriding the log with wrong data,
instead it made the last loop in copy_items() attempt to insert a
duplicated key (for a hole file extent item), which makes the file
fsync code return with -EEXIST to file.c:btrfs_sync_file() which in
turn ends up doing a full transaction commit, which is much more
expensive then writing only to the log tree and wait for it to be
durably persisted (as well as the file's modified extents/pages).
Therefore fix the hole detection logic, so that we don't pay the
cost of doing full transaction commits.

I could trigger this issue with the following test for xfstests (which
never fails, either without or with this patch). The last fsync call
results in a full transaction commit, due to the -EEXIST error mentioned
above. I could also observe this behaviour happening frequently when
running xfstests/generic/075 in a loop.

Test:

    {
        _cleanup_flakey
        rm -fr $tmp
    }
