Earlier, we were talking this specific problem involves zeroing folio
areas around a folio-unaligned write to a !uptodate folio backed by an
unwritten extent.  Is the scope of this corruption still limited to
*just* that case?  Or does it affect any write to a new mapping or
beyond EOF?  Can it affect a write to an extent that somehow gets
switched to unwritten or a hole after the mapping has been sampled?

At this point in the (xfs) buffered write cycle, we've taken the IOLOCK
and folio lock.  Is it possible for ->iomap_valid to detect that the
mapping is no longer valid, trylock the ILOCK, and update the mapping so
that we don't have to drop the folio lock and go all the way back to
->iomap_begin?

If we have to pay the cost of an indirect call, we could try to update
the mapping if one's available, right?  Obviously, if we don't find a
mapping we're probably going to have to drop the folio lock and allocate
more space.

Must the ->iomap_begin implementation also take care to carry-over the
IOMAP_F_NEW to the mapping if IOMAP_F_STALE is set?  Is it responsible
for dropping IOMAP_F_STALE, or will iomap_iter* do that?

I think it might be worth mentioning that /any/ iomap_iter caller can
set this flag in the loop body and kick things back to ->iomap_begin.
