We have several places that need to drop all the extent maps in a given file range and then add a new extent map for that range. Currently they call btrfs_drop_extent_map_range() to delete all extent maps in the range and then keep trying to add the new extent map in a loop that keeps retrying while the insertion of the new extent map fails with -EEXIST. So instead of repeating this logic, add a helper to extent_map.c that does these steps and name it btrfs_replace_extent_map_range(). Also add a comment about why the retry loop is necessary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
