btrfs: add BTRFS_IOC_ENCODED_READ ioctl

There are 4 main cases:

1. Inline extents: we copy the data straight out of the extent buffer.
2. Hole/preallocated extents: we fill in zeroes.
3. Regular, uncompressed extents: we read the sectors we need directly
   from disk.
4. Regular, compressed extents: we read the entire compressed extent
   from disk and indicate what subset of the decompressed extent is in
   the file.

This initial implementation simplifies a few things that can be improved
in the future:

- Cases 1, 3, and 4 allocate temporary memory to read into before
  copying out to userspace.
- We don't do read repair, because it turns out that read repair is
  currently broken for compressed data.
- We hold the inode lock during the operation.

Note that we don't need to hold the mmap lock. We may race with
btrfs_page_mkwrite() and read the old data from before the page was
dirtied:

btrfs_page_mkwrite         btrfs_encoded_read
---------------------------------------------------
(enter)                    (enter)
                           btrfs_wait_ordered_range
lock_extent_bits
btrfs_page_set_dirty
unlock_extent_cached
(exit)
                           lock_extent_bits
                           read extent (dirty page hasn't been flushed,
                                        so this is the old data)
                           unlock_extent_cached
                           (exit)

we read the old data from before the page was dirtied. But, that's true
even if we were to hold the mmap lock:

btrfs_page_mkwrite               btrfs_encoded_read
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(enter)                          (enter)
                                 btrfs_inode_lock(BTRFS_ILOCK_MMAP)
down_read(i_mmap_lock) (blocked)
                                 btrfs_wait_ordered_range
                                 lock_extent_bits
				 read extent (page hasn't been dirtied,
                                              so this is the old data)
                                 unlock_extent_cached
                                 btrfs_inode_unlock(BTRFS_ILOCK_MMAP)
down_read(i_mmap_lock) returns
lock_extent_bits
btrfs_page_set_dirty
unlock_extent_cached

In other words, this is inherently racy, so it's fine that we return the
old data in this tiny window.
