[REVIEW] Prevent direct I/O from mapping extents beyond eof

[Lachlan McIlroy <lachlan@xxxxxxx>]

With the help from some tracing I found that we try to map extents beyond
eof when doing a direct I/O read.  It appears that the way to inform the
generic direct I/O path (ie do_direct_IO()) that we have breached eof is
to return an unmapped buffer from xfs_get_blocks_direct().  This will cause
do_direct_IO() to jump to the hole handling code where is will check for
eof and then abort.

This problem was found because a direct I/O read was trying to map beyond
eof and was encountering delayed allocations.  The delayed allocations beyond
eof are speculative allocations and they didn't get converted when the direct
I/O flushed the file because there was only enough space in the current AG
to convert and write out the dirty pages within eof.  Note that
xfs_iomap_write_allocate() wont necessarily convert all the delayed allocation
passed to it - it will return after allocating the first extent - so if the
delayed allocation extends beyond eof then it will stay that way.

This change will detect a direct I/O read beyond eof:
