btrfs: use cached state when looking for delalloc ranges with lseek

During lseek (SEEK_HOLE/DATA), whenever we find a hole or prealloc extent,
we will look for delalloc in that range, and one of the things we do for
that is to find out ranges in the inode's io_tree marked with
EXTENT_DELALLOC, using calls to count_range_bits().

Typically there's a single, or few, searches in the io_tree for delalloc
per lseek call. However it's common for applications to keep calling
lseek with SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA to find where extents and holes are in
a file, read the extents and skip holes in order to avoid unnecessary IO
and save disk space by preserving holes.

One popular user is the cp utility from coreutils. Starting with coreutils
9.0, cp uses SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA to iterate over the extents of a
file. Before 9.0, it used fiemap to figure out where holes and extents are
in the source file. Another popular user is the tar utility when used with
the --sparse / -S option to detect and preserve holes.

Given that the pattern is to keep calling lseek with a start offset that
matches the returned offset from the previous lseek call, we can benefit
from caching the last extent state visited in count_range_bits() and use
it for the next count_range_bits() from the next lseek call. Example,
the following strace excerpt from running tar:

   $ strace tar cJSvf foo.tar.xz qemu_disk_file.raw
   (...)
   lseek(5, 125019574272, SEEK_HOLE)       = 125024989184
   lseek(5, 125024989184, SEEK_DATA)       = 125024993280
   lseek(5, 125024993280, SEEK_HOLE)       = 125025239040
   lseek(5, 125025239040, SEEK_DATA)       = 125025255424
   lseek(5, 125025255424, SEEK_HOLE)       = 125025353728
   lseek(5, 125025353728, SEEK_DATA)       = 125025357824
   lseek(5, 125025357824, SEEK_HOLE)       = 125026766848
   lseek(5, 125026766848, SEEK_DATA)       = 125026770944
   lseek(5, 125026770944, SEEK_HOLE)       = 125027053568
   (...)

Shows that pattern, which is the same as with cp from coreutils 9.0+.

So start using a cached state for the delalloc searches in lseek, and
store it in struct file's private data so that it can be reused across
lseek calls.

This change is part of a patchset that is comprised of the following
patches:

  1/9 btrfs: remove leftover setting of EXTENT_UPTODATE state in an inode's io_tree
  2/9 btrfs: add an early exit when searching for delalloc range for lseek/fiemap
  3/9 btrfs: skip unnecessary delalloc searches during lseek/fiemap
  4/9 btrfs: search for delalloc more efficiently during lseek/fiemap
  5/9 btrfs: remove no longer used btrfs_next_extent_map()
  6/9 btrfs: allow passing a cached state record to count_range_bits()
  7/9 btrfs: update stale comment for count_range_bits()
  8/9 btrfs: use cached state when looking for delalloc ranges with fiemap
  9/9 btrfs: use cached state when looking for delalloc ranges with lseek

The following test was run before and after applying the whole patchset:

   $ cat test-cp.sh
   #!/bin/bash

   DEV=/dev/sdh
   MNT=/mnt/sdh

   # coreutils 8.32, cp uses fiemap to detect holes and extents
   #CP_PROG=/usr/bin/cp
   # coreutils 9.1, cp uses SEEK_HOLE/DATA to detect holes and extents
   CP_PROG=/home/fdmanana/git/hub/coreutils/src/cp

   umount $DEV &> /dev/null
   mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
   mount $DEV $MNT

   FILE_SIZE=$((1024 * 1024 * 1024))
   echo "Creating file with a size of $((FILE_SIZE / 1024 / 1024))M"
   # Create a very sparse file, where each extent has a length of 4K and
   # is preceded by a 4K hole and followed by another 4K hole.
   start=$(date +%s%N)
   echo -n > $MNT/foobar
   for ((off = 0; off < $FILE_SIZE; off += 8192)); do
           xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xab $off 4K" $MNT/foobar > /dev/null
           echo -ne "\r$off / $FILE_SIZE ..."
   done
   end=$(date +%s%N)
   echo -e "\nFile created ($(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) milliseconds)"

   start=$(date +%s%N)
   $CP_PROG $MNT/foobar /dev/null
   end=$(date +%s%N)
   dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
   echo "cp took $dur milliseconds with data/metadata cached and delalloc"

   # Flush all delalloc.
   sync

   start=$(date +%s%N)
   $CP_PROG $MNT/foobar /dev/null
   end=$(date +%s%N)
   dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
   echo "cp took $dur milliseconds with data/metadata cached and no delalloc"

   # Unmount and mount again to test the case without any metadata
   # loaded in memory.
   umount $MNT
   mount $DEV $MNT

   start=$(date +%s%N)
   $CP_PROG $MNT/foobar /dev/null
   end=$(date +%s%N)
   dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
   echo "cp took $dur milliseconds without data/metadata cached and no delalloc"

   umount $MNT
