      Btrfs: fix a crash of clone with inline extents's split

      xfstests's btrfs/035 triggers a BUG_ON, which we use to detect the split
      of inline extents in __btrfs_drop_extents().

      For inline extents, we cannot duplicate another EXTENT_DATA item, because
      it breaks the rule of inline extents, that is, 'start offset' needs to be 0.

      We have set limitations for the source inode's compressed inline extents,
      because it needs to decompress and recompress.  Now the destination inode's
      inline extents also need similar limitations.

      With this, xfstests btrfs/035 doesn't run into panic.

  SRU Justification:

  [Impact]
  Running standard btrfs test 035 will cause a machine to reboot.

  [Fix]
  commit 00fdf13a2e9f313a044288aa59d3b8ec29ff904a
   Btrfs: fix a crash of clone with inline extents's split

  [Testcase]
  Run xfs "btrfs specific" test 35 with 7 devices for the btrfs scratch pool. Run with all mount options. Without the fix, the machine reboots. With the fix, one can run this multiple times w/o a reboot.
