This just looks weird as hell. We already pass in what to drop/reacquire
in the iolock argument. I don't think we need another argument controlled
by the same callers to assert it.

This is a behavior change that should not be in a patch titled
"prepare xfs_break_layouts() for another layout type" but in one
explicitly changing this and documenting why.
In summary: I think this should be replaced with a patch that
allows xfs_break_layouts to be called with the mmap lock held, and
change the callers that want the mmap lock to pass it with a good
explanation, and we should get rid of the XFS_BREAK_* flags here.
(need to check the next patch if there is any other good reason for
them to be added later, though).
