Subject: [patch v2 4/5] btrfs: add nofail variant of set_extent_dirty

Add set_extent_dirty_nofail().  This function is equivalent to
set_extent_dirty(), except that it will never fail because of allocation
failure and instead loop forever trying to allocate memory.

If the first allocation attempt fails because the page allocator doesn't
implicitly loop, a warning will be emitted, including a call trace.
Subsequent failures will suppress this warning.

This was added as a helper function for documentation and auditability.
No future callers should be added.
