btrfs: always log symlinks in full mode

On Linux, empty symlinks are invalid, and attempting to create one with
the system call symlink(2) results in an -ENOENT error and this is
explicitly documented in the man page.

If we rename a symlink that was created in the current transaction and its
parent directory was logged before, we actually end up logging the symlink
without logging its content, which is stored in an inline extent. That
means that after a power failure we can end up with an empty symlink,
having no content and an i_size of 0 bytes.

It can be easily reproduced like this:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
  $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt

  $ mkdir /mnt/testdir
  $ sync

  # Create a file inside the directory and fsync the directory.
  $ touch /mnt/testdir/foo
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir

  # Create a symlink inside the directory and then rename the symlink.
  $ ln -s /mnt/testdir/foo /mnt/testdir/bar
  $ mv /mnt/testdir/bar /mnt/testdir/baz

  # Now fsync again the directory, this persist the log tree.
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir

  <power failure>

  $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
  $ stat -c %s /mnt/testdir/baz
  0
  $ readlink /mnt/testdir/baz
  $

Fix this by always logging symlinks in full mode (LOG_INODE_ALL), so that
their content is also logged.

A test case for fstests will follow.
