Wouldn't it make more sense to return an error (-ENOENT??) in case
the em lookup fails and handle the error in btrfs_finish_ordered_io()
as this is the only caller of unpin_extent_cache()?

I've actually tripped over this a couple of times already when
investigating extent map and ordered extent splitting problems
on zoned filesystems:

em = lookup_extent_mapping(tree, start, len);
WARN_ON(!em || em->start != start);

Maybe even turn this WARN_ON() into an ASSERT() when introducing proper
error handling, as we shouldn't really get there unless we have a logical
error.

If you have real workloads hitting the warning then it really should be
proper error handling, not even an assert.

Up to now it's been coding errors from my side so I think it warrants an
ASSERT().

But still we should handle the error in the caller.
