[BUG] When testing subpage block size btrfs (block size < page size), I hit the following spin lock hang on x86_64, with the experimental 2K block size support:

[CAUSE] It's a self deadlock with the following sequence:

btrfs_subpage_clear_writeback() |- spin_lock_irqsave(&subpage->lock); |- folio_end_writeback() |- folio_end_dropbehind_write() |- folio_unmap_invalidate() |- btrfs_release_folio() |- wait_subpage_spinlock() |- spin_lock_irq(&subpage->lock); !! DEADLOCK !!

We're trying to acquire the same spin lock already held by ourselves.

[FIX] Move the folio_end_writeback() call out of the spin lock critical section.

And since we no longer have all the bitmap operation and the writeback flag clearing happening inside the critical section, we must do extra checks to make sure only the last one clearing the writeback bitmap can clear the folio writeback flag.

Looks good, thanks.
