[v10,00/14] btrfs: add ioctls and send/receive support for reading/writing compressed data

This series has three parts: new Btrfs ioctls for reading/writing
compressed data, support for sending compressed data via Btrfs send, and
btrfs-progs support for sending/receiving compressed data and writing it
with the new ioctl.

The Btrfs ioctls for reading compressed data from a file without
decompressing it and for writing compressed data directly to a file are
adapted from my previous attempt to do this as an extension to
preadv2/pwritev2 [1]. We weren't able to come up with a generic
interface that everyone was happy with, so we're going to do this
ourselves in Btrfs. If another user comes along, we can generalize it
then. Test cases are here [2]

Patches 1 and 2 are VFS changes exporting a couple of helpers for checks
needed by reads and writes. Patches 3-7 are preparatory Btrfs changes
for compressed reads and writes. Patch 8 adds the compressed read ioctl
and patch 9 adds the compressed write ioctl.

The main use-case for this interface is Btrfs send/receive. Currently,
when sending data from one compressed filesystem to another, the sending
side decompresses the data and the receiving side recompresses it before
writing it out. This is wasteful and can be avoided if we can just send
and write compressed extents.

Patches 10-14 add the Btrfs send support. See the previous posting for
more details and benchmarks [3]. Patches 10-12 prepare some protocol
changes for send stream v2. Patch 13 implements compressed send. Patch
14 enables send stream v2 and compressed send in the send ioctl when
requested.

These patches are based on Dave Sterba's Btrfs misc-next branch [4],
which is in turn currently based on v5.14-rc6.

The btrfs-progs patches were written by Boris Burkov with some updates
from me. Patches 1-4 are preparation. Patch 5 implements encoded writes.
Patch 6 implements the fallback to decompressing. Patches 7 and 8
implement the other commands. Patch 9 adds the new `btrfs send` options.
Patch 10 adds a test case.
