btrfs: reject single block sized compression early

Currently for an inode that needs compression, even if there is a delalloc
range that is single fs block sized and can not be inlined, we will
still go through the compression path.

Then inside compress_file_range(), we have one extra check to reject
single block sized range, and fall back to regular uncompressed write.

This rejection is in fact a little too late, we have already allocated
memory to async_chunk, delayed the submission, just to fallback to the
same uncompressed write.

Change the behavior to reject such cases earlier at
inode_need_compress(), so for such single block sized range we won't
even bother trying to go through compress path.

And since the inline small block check is inside inode_need_compress()
and compress_file_range() also calls that function, we no longer need a
dedicate check inside compress_file_range().
