Introduce a new helper, submit_uncompressed_range(), for async cow cases
where we fallback to COW.
There are some new updates introduced to the helper:
- Proper locked_page detection
It's possible that the async_extent range doesn't cover the locked
page. In that case we shouldn't unlock the locked page.
In the new helper, we will ensure that we only unlock the locked page
when:
* The locked page covers part of the async_extent range
* The locked page is not unlocked by cow_file_range() nor
extent_write_locked_range()
This also means extra comments are added focusing on the page locking.
- Add extra comment on some rare parameter used.
We use @unlock_page = 0 for cow_file_range(), where only two call
sites doing the same thing, including the new helper.
It's definitely worth some comments.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
