btrfs: further simplify the compress or not logic in compress_file_range


Currently the logic whether to compress or not in compress_file_range is
a bit convoluted because it tries to share code for creating inline
extents for the compressible [1] path and the bail to uncompressed path.

But the latter isn't needed at all, because cow_file_range as called by
submit_uncompressed_range will already create inline extents as needed,
so there is no need to have special handling for it if we can live with
the fact that it will be called a bit later in the ->ordered_func of the
workqueue instead of right now.

[1] there is undocumented logic that creates an uncompressed inline
extent outside of the shall not compress logic if total_in is too small.
This logic isn't explained in comments or any commit log I could find,
so I've preserved it.  Documentation explaining it would be appreciated
if anyone understands this code.
