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
