Due to the way the CoW algorithm in XFS works, there's an interval
during which blocks allocated to handle a CoW can be lost -- if the FS
goes down after the blocks are allocated but before the block
remapping takes place. This is exacerbated by the cowextsz hint --
allocated reservations can sit around for a while, waiting to get
used.
Since the refcount btree doesn't normally store records with refcount
of 1, we can use it to record these in-progress extents. In-progress
blocks cannot be shared because they're not user-visible, so there
shouldn't be any conflicts with other programs. This is a better
solution than holding EFIs during writeback because (a) EFIs can't be
relogged currently, (b) even if they could, EFIs are bound by
available log space, which puts an unnecessary upper bound on how much
CoW we can have in flight, and (c) we already have a mechanism to
track blocks.
At mount time, read the refcount records and free anything we find
with a refcount of 1 because those were in-progress when the FS went
down.

For O_DIRECT writes to shared blocks, we have to CoW them just like
we would with buffered writes. For writes that are not block-aligned,
just bounce them to the page cache.
For block-aligned writes, however, we can do better than that. Use
the same mechanisms that we employ for buffered CoW to set up a
delalloc reservation, allocate all the blocks at once, issue the
writes against the new blocks and use the same ioend functions to
remap the blocks after the write. This should be fairly performant.
Christoph discovered that xfs_reflink_allocate_cow_range may stumble
over invalid entries in the extent array given that it drops the ilock
but still expects the index to be stable. Simple fixing it to a new
lookup for every iteration still isn't correct given that
xfs_bmapi_allocate will trigger a BUG_ON() if hitting a hole, and
there is nothing preventing a xfs_bunmapi_cow call removing extents
once we dropped the ilock either.
This patch duplicates the inner loop of xfs_bmapi_allocate into a
helper for xfs_reflink_allocate_cow_range so that it can be done under
the same ilock critical section as our CoW fork delayed allocation.
The directio CoW warts will be revisited in a later patch.

After the write component of a copy-write operation finishes, clean up
the bookkeeping left behind. On error, we simply free the new blocks
and pass the error up. If we succeed, however, then we must remove
the old data fork mapping and move the cow fork mapping to the data
fork.

Modify the writepage handler to find and convert pending delalloc
extents to real allocations. Furthermore, when we're doing non-cow
writes to a part of a file that already has a CoW reservation (the
cowextsz hint that we set up in a subsequent patch facilitates this),
promote the write to copy-on-write so that the entire extent can get
written out as a single extent on disk, thereby reducing post-CoW
fragmentation.
Christoph moved the CoW support code in _map_blocks to a separate helper
function, refactored other functions, and reduced the number of CoW fork
lookups, so I merged those changes here to reduce churn.

Wire up iomap_begin to detect shared extents and create delayed allocation
extents in the CoW fork:
1) Check if we already have an extent in the COW fork for the area.
If so nothing to do, we can move along.
2) Look up block number for the current extent, and if there is none
it's not shared move along.
3) Unshare the current extent as far as we are going to write into it.
For this we avoid an additional COW fork lookup and use the
information we set aside in step 1) above.
4) Goto 1) unless we've covered the whole range.
Last but not least, this updates the xfs_reflink_reserve_cow_range calling
convention to pass a byte offset and length, as that is what both callers
expect anyway. This patch has been refactored considerably as part of the
iomap transition.

Introduce a new in-core fork for storing copy-on-write delalloc
reservations and allocated extents that are in the process of being
written out.
