    Btrfs: do not make defrag wait on async_delalloc_pages · 80e03a2c

    By setting compression for a defrag task, the task will start IO at
    the end of defrag.
    
    After the combo of filemap_flush(), we've already made sure that
    dirty pages have made progress via async compress thread because the
    second filemap_flush() will wait for page lock, which won't be
    unlocked until those pages have been marked as writeback and ordered
    extents have been queued.
    
    And this is for per-inode defrag, it's not helpful to wait on a global
    %async_delalloc_pages and %nr_async_submits from fs_info.
    
    Although waiting on %nr_async_submits means that all bios are
    submitted down to per-device schedule IO lists, it doesn't wait for
    their completions, thus users still need to do fsync/sync to make sure
    the data is on disk.  While with this change, it makes sure that pages
    are marked with writeback bits and will be submitted asynchronously
    shortly, therefore, the behavior of defrag option '-c' remains unchanged.
