This removes a lock from the path which converts delayed allocate
extents into real extents. It was previously obtaining the I/O
lock in the xfs inode which it does not need to do (this was also
going to cause problems with cxfs).

This introduces VOP_STRATEGY, currently a misnomer since it does
not do quite what it does in Irix, but there will probably be more
changes to come later in this area.

Also a pagebuf change to avoid calling balance_dirty when operating on
a partial page - as there is the chance that some other part of the
page could be in a buffer on the dirty queue and cause us to deadlock
on the page lock.
