There is a report that on btrfs, if the following workload are running,
btrfs can fail:

- A dio read into a mmaped range
  Only the mmap range needs to be on btrfs.
  The dio read source makes no difference.

- Sync_range on the mapped range

The btrfs errors include:

- Hang during data writeback
- Filesystem flips RO

The mmap range is dirtied but written back by the sync_range process,
then dio read finished and found that the folios are no longer dirty,
so dio endio will mark those folios dirty again so that the fs can write
them back again.

However for non-experimental btrfs with 4K block size and 4K page size,
there is a regression in v7.2 that such case is no longer handled
properly, due to the enablement of large folios and removal of cow
fixup.
And btrfs can never handle it for bs < ps from day 1.

Add a regression test for it.
