While we debug the issue, we found running fstests generic/551 on 5GB
non-zoned null_blk device in the emulated zoned mode also had a
similar hung issue.

Also, we can reproduce the same symptom with an error injected
cow_file_range() setup.

The hang occurs when cow_file_range() fails in the middle of
allocation. cow_file_range() called from do_allocation_zoned() can
split the give region ([start, end]) for allocation depending on
current block group usages. When btrfs can allocate bytes for one part
of the split regions but fails for the other region (e.g. because of
-ENOSPC), we return the error leaving the pages in the succeeded regions
locked. Technically, this occurs only when @unlock == 0. Otherwise, we
unlock the pages in an allocated region after creating an ordered
extent.

Considering the callers of cow_file_range(unlock=0) won't write out
the pages, we can unlock the pages on error exit from
cow_file_range(). So, we can ensure all the pages except @locked_page
are unlocked on error case.

In summary, cow_file_range now behaves like this:

- page_started == 1 (return value)
  - All the pages are unlocked. IO is started.
- unlock == 1
  - All the pages except @locked_page are unlocked in any case
- unlock == 0
  - On success, all the pages are locked for writing out them
  - On failure, all the pages except @locked_page are unlocked
