btrfs: avoid defragging extents whose next extents are not targets
[BUG]
There is a report that autodefrag is defragging single sector, which
is completely waste of IO, and no help for defragging:
btrfs-cleaner-808 defrag_one_locked_range: root=256 ino=651122 start=0 len=4096
[CAUSE]
In defrag_collect_targets(), we check if the current range (A) can be merged
with next one (B).
If mergeable, we will add range A into target for defrag.
However there is a catch for autodefrag, when checking mergeability
against range B, we intentionally pass 0 as @newer_than, hoping to get a
higher chance to merge with the next extent.
But in the next iteration, range B will looked up by defrag_lookup_extent(),
with non-zero @newer_than.
And if range B is not really newer, it will rejected directly, causing
only range A being defragged, while we expect to defrag both range A and
B.
[FIX]
Since the root cause is the difference in check condition of
defrag_check_next_extent() and defrag_collect_targets(), we fix it by:
1. Pass @newer_than to defrag_check_next_extent()
2. Pass @extent_thresh to defrag_check_next_extent()
This makes the check between defrag_collect_targets() and
defrag_check_next_extent() more consistent.
While there is still some minor difference, the remaining checks are
focus on runtime flags like writeback/delalloc, which are mostly
transient and safe to be checked only in defrag_collect_targets().
