Nikolay Borisov 28187ae569 btrfs: Simplify page unlocking in alloc_extent_buffer
Current version of the page unlocking code was added in
727011e07c ("Btrfs: allow metadata blocks larger than the page size")
but even in this commit that particular flag was never used per-se. In
fact, btrfs only uses PageChecked for data pages to identify pages
which have been dirtied but don't have ORDERED bit set. For more
information see 247e743cbe ("Btrfs: Use async helpers to deal with
pages that have been improperly dirtied").

However, this doesn't apply to extent buffer pages. The important bit
here is that the pages are unlocked AFTER the extent buffer has been
properly recorded in the radix tree to avoid races with
btree_releasepage. Let's exploit this fact and simplify the page
unlocking sequence by unlocking the pages in-order and removing the
redundant PageChecked flag setting/clearing.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
