[ Upstream commit 1e6e238c3002ea3611465ce5f32777ddd6a40126 ]

[BUG]
There is a bug report of NULL pointer dereference caused in
compress_file_extent():

  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

[CAUSE]
For the following execution route of compress_file_range(), it's
possible to hit NULL pointer dereference:

 compress_file_extent()
 |- pages = NULL;
 |- start = async_chunk->start = 0;
 |- end = async_chunk = 4095;
 |- nr_pages = 1;
 |- inode_need_compress() == false; <<< Possible, see later explanation
 |  Now, we have nr_pages = 1, pages = NULL
 |- cont:
 |- 		ret = cow_file_range_inline();
 |- 		if (ret <= 0) {
 |-		for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) {
 |-			WARN_ON(pages[i]->mapping);	<<< Crash

To enter above call execution branch, we need the following race:

    Thread 1 (chattr)     |            Thread 2 (writeback)
--------------------------+------------------------------
                          | btrfs_run_delalloc_range
                          | |- inode_need_compress = true
                          | |- cow_file_range_async()
btrfs_ioctl_set_flag()    |
|- binode_flags |=        |
   BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS |
                          | compress_file_range()
                          | |- inode_need_compress = false
                          | |- nr_page = 1 while pages = NULL
                          | |  Then hit the crash

[FIX]
This patch will fix it by checking @pages before doing accessing it.
This patch is only designed as a hot fix and easy to backport.

More elegant fix may make btrfs only check inode_need_compress() once to
avoid such race, but that would be another story.
