H A Dzdata.c0b964600 Sun Mar 21 13:32:27 CDT 2021 Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@redhat.com> erofs: complete a missing case for inplace I/O

Add a missing case which could cause unnecessary page allocation but
not directly use inplace I/O instead, which increases runtime extra
memory footprint.

The detail is, considering an online file-backed page, the right half
of the page is chosen to be cached (e.g. the end page of a readahead
request) and some of its data doesn't exist in managed cache, so the
pcluster will be definitely kept in the submission chain. (IOWs, it
cannot be decompressed without I/O, e.g., due to the bypass queue).

Currently, DELAYEDALLOC/TRYALLOC cases can be downgraded as NOINPLACE,
and stop online pages from inplace I/O. After this patch, unneeded page
allocations won't be observed in pickup_page_for_submission() then.
