Btrfs: fix hang on error (such as ENOSPC) when writing extent pages

When running low on available disk space and having several processes
doing buffered file IO, I got the following trace in dmesg:

It turns out that extent_io.c:__extent_writepage(), which ends up being called
through filemap_fdatawrite_range() in btrfs_start_ordered_extent(), was getting
-ENOSPC when calling the fill_delalloc callback. In this situation, it returned
without the writepage_end_io_hook callback (inode.c:btrfs_writepage_end_io_hook)
ever being called for the respective page, which prevents the ordered extent's
bytes_left count from ever reaching 0, and therefore a finish_ordered_fn work
is never queued into the endio_write_workers queue. This makes the task that
called btrfs_start_ordered_extent() hang forever on the wait queue of the ordered
extent.

This is fairly easy to reproduce using a small filesystem and fsstress on
a quad core vm:

    mkfs.btrfs -f -b `expr 2100 \* 1024 \* 1024` /dev/sdd
    mount /dev/sdd /mnt

    fsstress -p 6 -d /mnt -n 100000 -x \
        "btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/mysnap" \
    -f allocsp=0 \
    -f bulkstat=0 \
    -f bulkstat1=0 \
    -f chown=0 \
    -f creat=1 \
    -f dread=0 \
    -f dwrite=0 \
    -f fallocate=1 \
    -f fdatasync=0 \
    -f fiemap=0 \
    -f freesp=0 \
    -f fsync=0 \
    -f getattr=0 \
    -f getdents=0 \
    -f link=0 \
    -f mkdir=0 \
    -f mknod=0 \
    -f punch=1 \
    -f read=0 \
    -f readlink=0 \
    -f rename=0 \
    -f resvsp=0 \
    -f rmdir=0 \
    -f setxattr=0 \
    -f stat=0 \
    -f symlink=0 \
    -f sync=0 \
    -f truncate=1 \
    -f unlink=0 \
    -f unresvsp=0 \
    -f write=4

So just ensure that if an error happens while writing the extent page
we call the writepage_end_io_hook callback. Also make it return the
error code and ensure the caller (extent_write_cache_pages) processes
all pages in the page vector even if an error happens only for some
of them, so that ordered extents end up released.
