We need to call extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io()
on compression range to prevent application from changing
page content, while pages compressing.

extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io() run on each loop iteration,
"(end - start)" can be much (up to 1024 times) bigger
then compression range (BTRFS_MAX_UNCOMPRESSED).

That produce extra calls to page managment code.

Fix that behaviour by call extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io()
only once.

v1 -> v2:
 - Make that more obviously and more safeprone

v2 -> v3:
 - Rebased on:
   Btrfs: compress_file_range() remove dead variable num_bytes
 - Update change log
 - Add comments

v3 -> v4:
 - Rebased on: kdave for-next
 - To avoid dirty bit clear/set behaviour change
   call clear_bit once, istead of per compression range

This version looks safe to me. There's no functional difference if we
redirty the pages repeatedly, but there's probably a noticeable runtime
difference if we do it just once.
