To enable DAX to do atomic allocation of zeroed extents, we need to
drive the block zeroing deep into the allocator. Because
xfs_bmapi_write() can return merged extents on allocation that were
only partially allocated (i.e. requested range spans allocated and
hole regions, allocation into the hole was contiguous), we cannot
zero the extent returned from xfs_bmapi_write() as that can
overwrite existing data with zeros.
Hence we have to drive the extent zeroing into the allocation code,
prior to where we merge the extents into the BMBT and return the
resultant map. This means we need to propagate this need down to
the xfs_alloc_vextent() and issue the block zeroing at this point.
While this functionality is being introduced for DAX, there is no
reason why it is specific to DAX - we can per-zero blocks during the
allocation transaction on any type of device. It's just slow (and
usually slower than unwritten allocation and conversion) on
traditional block devices so doesn't tend to get used. We can,
however, hook hardware zeroing optimisations via sb_issue_zeroout()
to this operation, so it may be useful in future and hence the
"allocate zeroed blocks" API needs to be implementation neutral.

We no longer calculate the minimum freelist size from the on-disk
AGF, so we don't need the macros used for this. That means the
nested macros can be cleaned up, and turn this into an actual
function so the logic is clear and concise. This will make it much
easier to add support for the rmap btree when the time comes.
This also gets rid of the XFS_AG_MAXLEVELS macro used by these
freelist macros as it is simply a wrapper around a single variable.

At the moment, xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() uses a mix of per-ag based
access and agf buffer based access to freelist and space usage
information. However, once the AGF buffer is locked inside this
function, it is guaranteed that both the in-memory and on-disk
values are identical. xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() doesn't modify the
values in the structures directly, so it is a read-only user of the
infomration, and hence can use the per-ag structure exclusively for
determining what it should do.
This opens up an avenue for cleaning up a lot of duplicated logic
whose only difference is the structure it gets the data from, and in
doing so removes a lot of needless byte swapping overhead when
fixing up the free list.

The block allocator supports various arguments to tweak block allocation
behavior and set allocation requirements. The sparse inode chunk feature
introduces a new requirement not supported by the current arguments.
Sparse inode allocations must convert or merge into an inode record that
describes a fixed length chunk (64 inodes x inodesize). Full inode chunk
allocations by definition always result in valid inode records. Sparse
chunk allocations are smaller and the associated records can refer to
blocks not owned by the inode chunk. This model can result in invalid
inode records in certain cases.
For example, if a sparse allocation occurs near the start of an AG, the
aligned inode record for that chunk might refer to agbno 0. If an
allocation occurs towards the end of the AG and the AG size is not
aligned, the inode record could refer to blocks beyond the end of the
AG. While neither of these scenarios directly result in corruption, they
both insert invalid inode records and at minimum cause repair to
complain, are unlikely to merge into full chunks over time and set land
mines for other areas of code.
To guarantee sparse inode chunk allocation creates valid inode records,
support the ability to specify an agbno range limit for
XFS_ALLOCTYPE_NEAR_BNO block allocations. The min/max agbno's are
specified in the allocation arguments and limit the block allocation
algorithms to that range. The starting 'agbno' hint is clamped to the
range if the specified agbno is out of range. If no sufficient extent is
available within the range, the allocation fails. For backwards
compatibility, the min/max fields can be initialized to 0 to disable
range limiting (e.g., equivalent to min=0,max=agsize).
