Subject: Btrfs: fix inode eviction infinite loop after cloning into it

commit ccccf3d67294714af2d72a6fd6fd7d73b01c9329 upstream.

If we attempt to clone a 0 length region into a file we can end up
inserting a range in the inode's extent_io tree with a start offset
that is greater then the end offset, which triggers immediately the
following warning:

This later makes the inode eviction handler enter an infinite loop that
keeps dumping the following warning over and over:

So just bail out of the clone ioctl if the length of the region to clone
is zero, without locking any extent range, in order to prevent this issue
(same behaviour as a pwrite with a 0 length for example).

This is trivial to reproduce. For example, the steps for the test I just
made for fstests:

  mkfs.btrfs -f SCRATCH_DEV
  mount SCRATCH_DEV $SCRATCH_MNT

  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/foo
  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/bar

  $CLONER_PROG -s 0 -d 4096 -l 0 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/bar
  umount $SCRATCH_MNT

A test case for fstests follows soon.
