Btrfs: fix deadlock between direct IO write and defrag/readpages

If readpages() (triggered by defrag or buffered reads) is called while a
direct IO write is in progress, we have a small time window where we can
deadlock, resulting in traces like the following being generated:

Consider the following logical and physical file layout:

logical:    ... [ prealloc extent A ] [ prealloc extent B ] [ extent C ] ...
                4K                    8K                    16K

physical:   ... 12853248              12857344              1103101952   ...
                                      (= 12853248 + 4K)

Extents A and B are physically adjacent. The following diagram shows a
sequence of events that lead to the deadlock when we attempt to do a
direct IO write against the file range [4K, 16K[ and a defrag is triggered
simultaneously.

           CPU 1                                               CPU 2

 btrfs_direct_IO()

   btrfs_get_blocks_direct()
     creates ordered extent A, covering
     the 4k prealloc extent A (range [4K, 8K[)

                                                    btrfs_defrag_file()
                                                      page_cache_sync_readahead([0K, 1M[)
                                                        btrfs_readpages()
                                                          extent_readpages()

                                                            locks all pages in the file
                                                            range [0K, 128K[ through calls
                                                            to add_to_page_cache_lru()

                                                            __do_contiguous_readpages()

                                                               finds ordered extent A

                                                               waits for it to complete

   btrfs_get_blocks_direct() called again

     lock_extent_direct(range [8K, 16K[)

       finds a page in range [8K, 16K[ through
       btrfs_page_exists_in_range()

       invalidate_inode_pages2_range([8K, 16K[)

         --> tries to lock pages that are already
             locked by the task at CPU 2

         --> our task, running __blockdev_direct_IO(),
             hangs waiting to lock the pages and the
             submit bio callback, btrfs_submit_direct(),
             ends up never being called, resulting in the
             ordered extent A never completing (because a
             corresponding bio is never submitted) and
             CPU 2 will wait for it forever while holding
             the pages locked
              ---> deadlock!

Fix this by removing the page invalidation approach when attempting to
lock the range for IO from the callback btrfs_get_blocks_direct() and
falling back buffered IO. This was a rare case anyway and well behaved
applications do not mix concurrent direct IO writes with buffered reads
anyway, being a concurrent defrag the only normal case that could lead
to the deadlock.
