Several members of compressed_bio are of type that's unnecessarily big
for the values that they'd hold:

- the size of the uncompressed and compressed data is 128K now, we can
   keep is as int
- same for number of pages
- the compress type fits to a byte
- the errors is 0/1

The size of the unpatched structure is 80 bytes with several holes.
Reordering nr_pages next to the pages the hole after pending_bios is
filled and the resulting size is 56 bytes. This keeps the csums array
aligned to 8 bytes, which is nice. Further size optimizations may be
possible but right now it looks good to me:

struct compressed_bio {
         refcount_t                 pending_bios;         /*     0     4 */
         unsigned int               nr_pages;             /*     4     4 */
         struct page * *            compressed_pages;     /*     8     8 */
         struct inode *             inode;                /*    16     8 */
         u64                        start;                /*    24     8 */
         unsigned int               len;                  /*    32     4 */
         unsigned int               compressed_len;       /*    36     4 */
         u8                         compress_type;        /*    40     1 */
         u8                         errors;               /*    41     1 */

         /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

         int                        mirror_num;           /*    44     4 */
         struct bio *               orig_bio;             /*    48     8 */
         u8                         sums[];               /*    56     0 */

         /* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 12 */
         /* sum members: 54, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
         /* last cacheline: 56 bytes */
};
The following member types of struct compressed_bio are changed here:

-       unsigned long len;
+       unsigned int len;

-       int compress_type;
+       u8 compress_type;

-       unsigned long nr_pages;
+       unsigned int nr_pages;

-       unsigned long compressed_len;
+       unsigned int compressed_len;

-       int errors;
+       u8 errors;

There are no warnings.

But in btrfs_submit_compressed_write()

Essentially struct compressed_bio is updated from struct async_extent.

struct async_extent {
         u64 start;
         u64 ram_size;
         u64 compressed_size;
         struct page **pages;
         unsigned long nr_pages;
         int compress_type;
         struct list_head list;
};

which can be looked into later.

For now, with the patch
  btrfs: optimize users of members of the struct compressed_bio
which is sent to ML.
