btrfs: Preallocate chunks in cow_file_range_async This commit changes the implementation of cow_file_range_async in order to get rid of the BUG_ON in the middle of the loop. Additionally it reworks the inner loop in the hopes of making it more understandable. The idea is to make async_cow be a top-level structured, shared amongst all chunks being sent for compression. This allows to perform one memory allocation at the beginning and gracefully fail the IO if there isn't enough memory. Now, each chunk is going to be described by an async_chunk struct. It's the responsibility of the final chunk to actually free the memory.
