btrfs: nowait aio: Correct assignment of pos

Assigning pos for usage early messes up in append mode, where the pos is
re-assigned in generic_write_checks(). Assign pos later to get the
correct position to write from iocb->ki_pos.

Since check_can_nocow also uses the value of pos, we shift
generic_write_checks() before check_can_nocow(). Checks with IOCB_DIRECT
are present in generic_write_checks(), so checking for IOCB_NOWAIT is
enough.

Also, put locking sequence in the fast path.

This fixes a user visible bug, as reported:

"apparently breaks several shell related features on my system.
In zsh history stopped working, because no new entries are added
anymore.
I fist noticed the issue when I tried to build mplayer. It uses a shell
script to generate a help_mp.h file:
[...]

Here is a simple testcase:

 % echo "foo" >> test
 % echo "foo" >> test
 % cat test
 foo
 %
"
