I got dmesg errors on generic/281 on our overnight xfstests.  Looking at
the history this happens occasionally, with errors like this

This happens because we're trying to read from a extent buffer page that
is !PageUptodate.  This happens because we will clear the page uptodate
when we have an IO error, but we don't clear the extent buffer uptodate.
If we do a read later and find this extent buffer we'll think its valid
and not return an error, and then trip over this warning.

Fix this by also clearing uptodate on the extent buffer when this
happens, so that we get an error when we do a btrfs_search_slot() and
find this block later.

Is it sufficient to set the flag only on the extent buffer, what about
using clear_extent_buffer_uptodate so that constituent pages also get
their UPTODATE cleared?

Also I can't help but think can't we get rid of the BUFFER_WRITE_ERR
because an error during write is signaled by both !UPTODATE and
BUFFER_WRITE_ERR being set.

Looking at the various call sites of set_btree_ioerr they'd call
set_btree_ioerr when the bio has errored out or if
EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITE_ERR is set but in the latter case set_btree_ioerr is
a noop due to the test_and_set_bit() call in set_btree_ioerr.
