btrfs: don't set the full sync flag when truncation does not touch extents
At btrfs_truncate() where we truncate the inode either to the same size
or to a smaller size, we always set the full sync flag on the inode.
This is needed in case the truncation drops or trims any file extent items
that start beyond or cross the new inode size, so that the next fsync
drops all inode items from the log and scans again the fs/subvolume tree
to find all items that must be logged.
However if the truncation does not drop or trims any file extent items, we
do not need to set the full sync flag and force the next fsync to use the
slow code path. So do not set the full sync flag in such cases.
One use case where it is frequent to do truncations that do not change
the inode size and do not drop any extents (no prealloc extents beyond
i_size) is when running Microsoft's SQL Server inside a Docker container.
One example workload is the one Philipp Fent reported recently, in the
thread with a link below. In this workload a large number of fsyncs are
preceded by such truncate operations.
After this change I constantly get the runtime for that workload from
Philipp to be reduced by about -12%, for example from 184 seconds down
to 162 seconds.
