Linux kernel source tree

If btrfs_reserve_extent() fails while submitting an async_extent for a
compressed write, then we fail to call free_async_extent_pages() on the
async_extent and leak its folios. A likely cause for such a failure
would be btrfs_reserve_extent() failing to find a large enough
contiguous free extent for the compressed extent.
I was able to reproduce this by:
1. mount with compress-force=zstd:3
2. fallocating most of a filesystem to a big file
3. fragmenting the remaining free space
4. trying to copy in a file which zstd would generate large compressed
extents for (vmlinux worked well for this)
Step 4. hits the memory leak and can be repeated ad nauseam to
eventually exhaust the system memory.
Fix this by detecting the case where we fallback to uncompressed
submission for a compressed async_extent and ensuring that we call
free_async_extent_pages().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
