Btrfs: fix race leading to incorrect item deletion when dropping extents

While running a stress test I got the following warning triggered:

This happened because the item we were processing did not match a file
extent item (its key type != BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY), and even on this
case we cast the item to a struct btrfs_file_extent_item pointer and
then find a type field value that does not match any of the expected
values (BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_[REG|PREALLOC|INLINE]). This scenario happens
due to a tiny time window where a race can happen as exemplified below.
For example, consider the following scenario where we're using the
NO_HOLES feature and we have the following two neighbour leafs:

               Leaf X (has N items)                    Leaf Y

[ ... (257 INODE_ITEM 0) (257 INODE_REF 256) ]  [ (257 EXTENT_DATA 8192), ... ]
          slot N - 2         slot N - 1              slot 0

Our inode 257 has an implicit hole in the range [0, 8K[ (implicit rather
than explicit because NO_HOLES is enabled). Now if our inode has an
ordered extent for the range [4K, 8K[ that is finishing, the following
can happen:

          CPU 1                                       CPU 2

  btrfs_finish_ordered_io()
    insert_reserved_file_extent()
      __btrfs_drop_extents()
         Searches for the key
          (257 EXTENT_DATA 4096) through
          btrfs_lookup_file_extent()

         Key not found and we get a path where
         path->nodes[0] == leaf X and
         path->slots[0] == N

         Because path->slots[0] is >=
         btrfs_header_nritems(leaf X), we call
         btrfs_next_leaf()

         btrfs_next_leaf() releases the path

                                                  inserts key
                                                  (257 INODE_REF 4096)
                                                  at the end of leaf X,
                                                  leaf X now has N + 1 keys,
                                                  and the new key is at
                                                  slot N

         btrfs_next_leaf() searches for
         key (257 INODE_REF 256), with
         path->keep_locks set to 1,
         because it was the last key it
         saw in leaf X

           finds it in leaf X again and
           notices it's no longer the last
           key of the leaf, so it returns 0
           with path->nodes[0] == leaf X and
           path->slots[0] == N (which is now
           < btrfs_header_nritems(leaf X)),
           pointing to the new key
           (257 INODE_REF 4096)

         __btrfs_drop_extents() casts the
         item at path->nodes[0], slot
         path->slots[0], to a struct
         btrfs_file_extent_item - it does
         not skip keys for the target
         inode with a type less than
         BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY
         (BTRFS_INODE_REF_KEY < BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY)

         sees a bogus value for the type
         field triggering the WARN_ON in
         the trace shown above, and sets
         extent_end = search_start (4096)

         does the if-then-else logic to
         fixup 0 length extent items created
         by a past bug from hole punching:

           if (extent_end == key.offset &&
               extent_end >= search_start)
               goto delete_extent_item;

         that evaluates to true and it ends
         up deleting the key pointed to by
         path->slots[0], (257 INODE_REF 4096),
         from leaf X

The same could happen for example for a xattr that ends up having a key
with an offset value that matches search_start (very unlikely but not
impossible).

So fix this by ensuring that keys smaller than BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY are
skipped, never casted to struct btrfs_file_extent_item and never deleted
by accident. Also protect against the unexpected case of getting a key
for a lower inode number by skipping that key and issuing a warning.
