btrfs: subpage: fix a potential use-after-free in writeback helper

[BUG]
There is a possible use-after-free bug when running generic/095.

 BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b725b

[CAUSE]
There is very small race window like the following in generic/095.

Thread 1 | Thread 2
--------------------------------+------------------------------------
  end_bio_extent_writepage() | btrfs_releasepage()
  |- spin_lock_irqsave() | |
  |- end_page_writeback() | |
  | | |- if (PageWriteback() ||...)
  | | |- clear_page_extent_mapped()
  | |    |- kfree(subpage);
  |- spin_unlock_irqrestore().

The race can also happen between writeback and btrfs_invalidatepage(),
although that would be much harder as btrfs_invalidatepage() has much
more work to do before the clear_page_extent_mapped() call.

[FIX]
Here we "wait" for the subapge spinlock to be released before we detach
subpage structure.
So this patch will introduce a new function, wait_subpage_spinlock(), to
do the "wait" by acquiring the spinlock and release it.

Since the caller has ensured the page is not dirty nor writeback, and
page is already locked, the only way to hold the subpage spinlock is
from endio function.
Thus we only need to acquire the spinlock to wait for any existing
holder.
