Ping?

This patch should fix the problem of compressed extent even when
nodatasum is set.

It has been one year but we still didn't get a conclusion on where
force_compress should behave.

But at least to me, NODATASUM is a strong exclusion for compress, no
matter whatever option we use, we should NEVER compress data without
datasum/datacow.

So I still want to push this patch as is.

Thanks,
Qu
