The lock_extent_buffer_io() returns 1 to the caller to tell it everything
went fine and the callers needs to start writeback for the extent buffer
(submit a bio, etc), 0 to tell the caller everything went fine but it does
not need to start writeback for the extent buffer, and a negative value if
some error happened.
When it's about to return 1 it tries to lock all pages, and if a try lock
on a page fails, and we didn't flush any existing bio in our "epd", it
calls flush_write_bio(epd) and overwrites the return value of 1 to 0 or
an error. The page might have been locked elsewhere, not with the goal
of starting writeback of the extent buffer, and even by some code other
than btrfs, like page migration for example, so it does not mean the
writeback of the extent buffer was already started by some other task,
so returning a 0 tells the caller (btree_write_cache_pages()) to not
start writeback for the extent buffer. Note that epd might currently have
either no bio, so flush_write_bio() returns 0 (success) or it might have
a bio for another extent buffer with a lower index (logical address).
Since we return 0 with the EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITEBACK bit set on the
extent buffer and writeback is never started for the extent buffer,
future attempts to writeback the extent buffer will hang forever waiting
on that bit to be cleared, since it can only be cleared after writeback
completes. Such hang is reported with a trace like the following:

So fix this by not overwriting the return value (ret) with the result
from flush_write_bio(). We also need to clear the EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITEBACK
bit in case flush_write_bio() returns an error, otherwise it will hang
any future attempts to writeback the extent buffer, and undo all work
done before (set back EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY, etc).
This is a regression introduced in the 5.2 kernel.
