I'm hitting problems with this one in testing.  I think the issue is
that the extent_mutex was protecting us from something like this:

proc1:
process end io for extent [0, 32768]
btrfs_ordered_update_i_size() -- update i_disk_size to 32768

proc2:
process end io for extent [32768, 55536]
btrfs_ordered_update_i_size() find the rbtree entry [0, 32768], exit

proc1:
remove extent [0, 32768] from rbtree

Because the first extent was still in the rbtree, we didn't update
i_size to the full 55536, even though the first extent was fully
processed.  I think I've got this fixed by removing the extents from the
rbtree when we're in btrfs_ordered_update_i_size().  The current patch
does this only when an ordered extent was passed in.
