[PATCH 5.16 140/164] btrfs: defrag: remove an ambiguous condition for rejection

commit 550f133f6959db927127111b50e483da3a7ce662 upstream.

>From the very beginning of btrfs defrag, there is a check to reject
extents which meet both conditions:

- Physically adjacent

We may want to defrag physically adjacent extents to reduce the number
of extents or the size of subvolume tree.

- Larger than 128K

This may be there for compressed extents, but unfortunately 128K is
exactly the max capacity for compressed extents.
And the check is > 128K, thus it never rejects compressed extents.

Furthermore, the compressed extent capacity bug is fixed by previous
patch, there is no reason for that check anymore.

The original check has a very small ranges to reject (the target extent
size is > 128K, and default extent threshold is 256K), and for
compressed extent it doesn't work at all.

So it's better just to remove the rejection, and allow us to defrag
physically adjacent extents.
