The following issue was observed when running generic/095 test on
subpagesize-blocksize patchset.

Assume that we are trying to write a dirty page that is mapping file offset
range [159744, 163839].

writepage_delalloc()
  find_lock_delalloc_range(*start = 159744, *end = 0)
    find_delalloc_range()
      Returns range [X, Y] where (X > 163839)
    lock_delalloc_pages()
      One of the pages in range [X, Y] has dirty flag cleared;
      Loop once more restricting the delalloc range to span only
      PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes;
    find_delalloc_range()
      Returns range [356352, 360447];
    lock_delalloc_pages()
      The page [356352, 360447] has dirty flag cleared;
    Returns with *start = 159744 and *end = 0;
  *start = *end + 1;
  find_lock_delalloc_range(*start = 1, *end = 0)
    Finds and returns delalloc range [1, 12288];
  cow_file_range()
    Clears delalloc range [1, 12288]
    Create ordered extent for range [1, 12288]

The ordered extent thus created above breaks the rule that extents have to be
aligned to the filesystem's block size.

In cases where lock_delalloc_pages() fails (either due to PG_dirty flag being
cleared or the page no longer being a member of the inode's page cache), this
patch sets and returns the delalloc range that was found by
find_delalloc_range().
