If we have concurrent fsync calls against files living in the same subvolume,
we have some time window where we don't add the collected ordered extents
to the running transaction's list of ordered extents and return success to
userspace. This can result in data loss if the ordered extents complete after
the current transaction commits and a power failure happens after the current
transaction commits and before the next one commits.

A sequence of steps that lead to this:

        CPU 0                                                         CPU 1

btrfs_sync_file(inode A)                               btrfs_sync_file(inode B)
  btrfs_log_inode_parent()                               btrfs_log_inode_parent()

    start_log_trans()
      lock root->log_mutex
      ctx->log_transid = root->log_transid = N
      unlock root->log_mutex

                                                           start_log_trans()
                                                             lock root->log_mutex
                                                             ctx->log_transid = root->log_transid = N
                                                             unlock root->log_mutex

            log_root->logged_list[N % 2]
            (N == log_root->log_transid)

  btrfs_sync_log()
    lock root->log_mutex

    atomic_set(&root->log_commit[N % 2], 1)
      (N == ctx->log_transid)

                                                                       (N + 1 == log_root->log_transid)

                                                       btrfs_sync_log()

                                                           (N == ctx->log_transid)

                                                           wait on root->log_commit_wait[N % 2]

                                                           and root->log_transid_committed == N

    btrfs_wait_marked_extents()
    btrfs_wait_logged_extents()
      --> adds ordered extents from
          log_root->logged_list[N % 2] to
          the trans->ordered list
          (N == ctx->log_transid)
    write_ctree_super()

    lock root->log_mutex
    root->log_transid_committed++;
      --> becomes N
    unlock root->log_mutex
    wake_up(&root->log_commit_wait[N % 2])
      (N == ctx->log_transid)

  btrfs_sync_file(inode A) returns 0 to userspace

                                                         wakes up from root->log_commit_wait[N % 2]
                                                         returns 0 from btrfs_sync_log() immediately
                                                       btrfs_sync_file(inode B) returns 0 to userspace

                        some time later current transaction commit starts
                          waits for ordered extent A to complete
                        transaction commit finishes

                        ********* power failure ************

                        ordered extent B completes (updates subvol and csum trees)

Fix this by ensuring that we add the collected ordered extents into the
current transaction's ordered list if when syncing the log we return early
because we found our log transaction was already committed or we end up
waiting for a matching log transaction commit that is ongoing to complete.

V2: Add the ordered extents to the transaction even if ctx->log_ret is
    non-zero, to avoid leaking ordered extents in that case.

Except this can't happen, we have a wait_for_writer() in between here 
that will wait for CPU 1 to finish doing it's logging since it has 
already done it's start_log_trans().  Thanks,

Right, totally forgot that.
Thanks for pointing it out Josef.
