Subject: [PATCH v3] btrfs: implement migratepage callback

Currently btrfs doesn't provide a migratepage callback. It means that
fallback_migrate_page() is used to migrate btrfs pages.

fallback_migrate_page() cannot move dirty pages, instead it tries to
flush them (in sync mode) or just fails (in async mode).

In the sync mode pages which are scheduled to be processed by
btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker() can't be effectively flushed by the
migration code, because there is no established way to wait for the
completion of the delayed work.

It all leads to page migration failures.

To fix it the patch implements a btrs-specific migratepage callback,
which is similar to iomap_migrate_page() used by some other fs, except
it does take care of the PagePrivate2 flag which is used for data
ordering purposes.

v3: fixed the build issue once again
v2: fixed the build issue found by the kbuild test robot <[email protected]>

The callback exists for the metadata pages (btree_migratepage), so I've
added 'for data pages' where appropriate.
