New code for 6.9:

  * Remove mrlock wrapper around the rwsem.
  * Convert all the GFP_NOFS flag usages to use the scoped
    memalloc_nofs_save() API instead of direct calls with the GFP_NOFS.
  * Refactor and simplify xfile abstraction. Lower level APIs in
    shmem.c are required to be exported in order to achieve this.
  * Skip checking alignment constraints for inode chunk allocations when block
    size is larger than inode chunk size.
  * Do not submit delwri buffers collected during log recovery when an error
    has been encountered.
  * Fix SEEK_HOLE/DATA for file regions which have active COW extents.
  * Remove duplicate ifdefs.

xfs: fix SEEK_HOLE/DATA for regions with active COW extents

A data corruption problem was reported by CoreOS image builders
when using reflink based disk image copies and then converting
them to qcow2 images. The converted images failed the conversion
verification step, and it was isolated down to the fact that
qemu-img uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to find the data it is supposed to
copy.

The reproducer allowed me to isolate the issue down to a region of
the file that had overlapping data and COW fork extents, and the
problem was that the COW fork extent was being reported in it's
entirity by xfs_seek_iomap_begin() and so skipping over the real
data fork extents in that range.

This was somewhat hidden by the fact that 'xfs_bmap -vvp' reported
all the extents correctly, and reading the file completely (i.e. not
using seek to skip holes) would map the file correctly and all the
correct data extents are read. Hence the problem is isolated to just
the xfs_seek_iomap_begin() implementation.

Instrumentation with trace_printk made the problem obvious: we are
passing the wrong length to xfs_trim_extent() in
xfs_seek_iomap_begin(). We are passing the end_fsb, not the
maximum length of the extent we want to trim the map too. Hence the
COW extent map never gets trimmed to the start of the next data fork
extent, and so the seek code treats the entire COW fork extent as
unwritten and skips entirely over the data fork extents in that
range.
