This commit also required following commit:

commit 1749d1ea89bdf3181328b7d846e609d5a0e53e50

    xfs: add missing error check in xfs_prepare_shift()

    xfs_prepare_shift() fails to check the error return from
    xfs_flush_unmap_range(). If the latter fails, that could lead to an
    insert/collapse range operation over a delalloc range, which is not
    supported.

    Add an error check and return appropriately. This is reproduced
    rarely by generic/475.
