Btrfs: properly honor wbc->nr_to_write changes
When btrfs fills a delayed allocation, it tries to increase
the wbc nr_to_write to cover a big part of allocation. The
theory is that we're doing contiguous IO and writing a few
more blocks will save seeks overall at a very low cost.
The problem is that extent_write_cache_pages could ignore
the new higher nr_to_write if nr_to_write had already gone
down to zero. We fix that by rechecking the nr_to_write
for every page that is processed in the pagevec.
This updates the math around bumping the nr_to_write value
to make sure we don't leave a tiny amount of IO hanging
around for the very end of a new extent.
