Just quickly, I'd rewrite this convoluted logic:

in a manner that can means it no longer has to be analysed from first principles
every time it is read. e.g.:

static inline bool
xfs_can_free_eofblocks(struct xfs_inode *ip, bool force)
{
	/* prealloc/delalloc exists only on regular files */
	if (!S_ISREG(ip->i_d.di_mode))
		return false;
	/*
	 * Zero sized files with no cached page or delalloc blocks will not have
	 * any speculative prealloc/delalloc to remove.
	 */
	if (VFS_I(ip)->i_size == 0 &&
	    VFS_I(ip)->i_mapping->nr_pages == 0 &&
	    ip->i_delayed_blks == 0)
		return false;

	/* If we haven't read in the extent list, then don't do it now. */
	if (!(ip->i_df.if_flags & XFS_IFEXTENTS))
		return false;

	/*
	 * Real preallocation or append only files do not get EOF blocks freed
	 * unless there are also delalloc blocks and we are forced to remove
	 * them.
	 */
	if ((ip->i_d.di_flags & (XFS_DIFLAG_PREALLOC | XFS_DIFLAG_APPEND)) {
		if (!ip->i_delayed_blks)
			return false;
		if (!force)
			return false;
	}

	return true;
}
