Btrfs: add semaphore to synchronize direct IO writes with fsync

Due to the optimization of lockless direct IO writes (the inode's i_mutex
is not held) introduced in commit 38851cc1 ("Btrfs: implement unlocked
dio write"), we started having races between such writes with concurrent
fsync operations that use the fast fsync path. These races were addressed
in the patches titled "Btrfs: fix race between fsync and lockless direct
IO writes" and "Btrfs: fix race between fsync and direct IO writes for
prealloc extents". The races happened because the direct IO path, like
every other write path, does create extent maps followed by the
corresponding ordered extents while the fast fsync path collected first
ordered extents and then it collected extent maps. This made it possible
to log file extent items (based on the collected extent maps) without
waiting for the corresponding ordered extents to complete (get their IO
done). The two fixes mentioned before added a solution that consists of
making the direct IO path create first the ordered extents and then the
extent maps, while the fsync path attempts to collect any new ordered
extents once it collects the extent maps. This was simple and did not
require adding any synchonization primitive to any data structure (struct
btrfs_inode for example) but it makes things more fragile for future
development endeavours and adds an exceptional approach compared to the
other write paths.

This change adds a read-write semaphore to the btrfs inode structure and
makes the direct IO path create the extent maps and the ordered extents
while holding read access on that semaphore, while the fast fsync path
collects extent maps and ordered extents while holding write access on
that semaphore. The logic for direct IO write path is encapsulated in a
new helper function that is used both for cow and nocow direct IO writes.
