ihold is supposed to be used when the caller already has a reference to
the inode. In the case of cow_file_range_async this invariants holds,
since the 3 call chains leading to this function all take a reference:

btrfs_writepage  <--- does igrab
 extent_write_full_page
  __extent_writepage
   writepage_delalloc
     btrfs_run_delalloc_range
      cow_file_range_async

extent_write_cache_pages <--- does igrab
 __extent_writepage (same callchain as above)

and

submit_compressed_extents <-- already called from async CoW submit path,
      which would have done ihold.
 extent_write_locked_range
  __extent_writepage
