ext4: allow zeroout when doing written to unwritten split
Currently, when we are doing an extent split and convert operation of
written to unwritten extent (example, as done by ZERO_RANGE), we don't
allow the zeroout fallback in case the extent tree manipulation fails.
This is mostly because zeroout might take unsually long and the fact that
this code path is more tolerant to failures than endio.
Since we have zeroout machinery in place, we might as well use it hence
lift this restriction. To mitigate zeroout taking too long respect the
max zeroout limit here so that the operation finishes relatively fast.
Also, add kunit tests for this case.
