This significantly improves streaming write performance by allowing
concurrency in the data checksumming.

When we checkum file data during writepage, the checksumming is done one
page at a time, making it difficult to do bulk metadata modifications
to insert checksums for large ranges of the file at once.
This patch changes btrfs to checksum on a per-bio basis instead. The
bios are checksummed before they are handed off to the block layer, so
each bio is contiguous and only has pages from the same inode.
Checksumming on a bio basis allows us to insert and modify the file
checksum items in large groups. It also allows the checksumming to
be done more easily by async worker threads.

The fixes do a number of things:
1) Most btrfs_drop_extent callers will try to leave the inline extents in
place. It can truncate bytes off the beginning of the inline extent if
required.
2) writepage can now update the inline extent, allowing mmap writes to
go directly into the inline extent.
3) btrfs_truncate_in_transaction truncates inline extents
4) extent_map.c fixed to not merge inline extent mappings and hole
mappings together

Execution should goto label 'insert' when 'btrfs_next_leaf' return a
non-zero value, otherwise the parameter 'slot' for
'btrfs_item_key_to_cpu' may be out of bounds. The original codes jump
to label 'insert' only when 'btrfs_next_leaf' return a negative
value.

This reduces the number of calls to btrfs_extend_item and greatly lowers
the cpu usage while writing large files.

Almost none of the files including module.h need to do so,
remove them.
Include sched.h in extent-tree.c to silence a warning about cond_resched()
being undeclared.

Attaching below is some of the code cleanups that i came across while
reading the code.
a) alloc_path already calls init_path.
b) Mention that btrfs_inode is the in memory copy.Ext4 have ext4_inode_info as
the in memory copy ext4_inode as the disk copy
