[PATCH] btrfs: prevent hung check firing during long sync IO

From: Xianting Tian
Date: Wed Aug 19 2020 - 06:22:23 EST


For sync and flush io, it may take long time to complete.
So it's better to use wait_for_completion_io_timeout() in a
while loop to avoid prevent hung check and crash(when set
/proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic).

This is similar to prevent hung task check in submit_bio_wait(),
blk_execute_rq().
