I managed to cut the testcase down to a nine-line fsx script and so
turned it into a fstests regression case.  It seems to reproduce 100% on
scsi disks and doesn't at all on pmem.

Note that changing the second to last line of the fsxops script to call
punch_hole instead of zero_range triggers it too.

I've also narrowed it down to something going wrong w.r.t. handling the
page cache somewhere under xfs_free_file_space.

(See attached diff...)

generic: mread past eof shows nonzero contents

Certain sequences of generic/127 invocations complain about being able
to mread nonzero contents past eof.  Replicate that here as a regression
test.
