xfs: remove log force from xfs_buf_trylock()
The trylock log force invoked via xfs_buf_item_push() can attempt
to acquire xa_lock, thus leading to a recursion bug when called
with xa_lock held.
This log force was originally added to xfs_buf_trylock() to address
xfsaild stalls due to pinned and stale buffers. Since the addition
of this behavior, the log item pushing code had been reworked to
detect and track pinned items to inform xfsaild to issue a log
force itself when necessary. As such, the log force on trylock
failure is redundant and safe to remove.

xfs: recheck buffer pinned status after push trylock failure
The buffer pinned check and trylock sequence in xfs_buf_item_push()
can race with an active transaction on marking the buffer pinned.
This can result in the buffer becoming pinned and stale after the
initial check and the trylock failure, but before the check in
xfs_buf_trylock() that issues a log force. If the log force is
issued from this context, a spinlock recursion occurs on xa_lock.
Prepare xfs_buf_item_push() to handle the race by detecting a
pinned buffer after the trylock failure so xfsaild issues a log
force from a safe context. This, along with various previous fixes,
renders the log force in xfs_buf_trylock() redundant.

xfs: limit speculative prealloc size on sparse files
Speculative preallocation based on the current file size works well
for contiguous files, but is sub-optimal for sparse files where the
EOF preallocation can fill holes and result in large amounts of
zeros being written when it is not necessary.
The algorithm is modified to prevent EOF speculative preallocation
from triggering larger allocations on IO patterns of
truncate--to-zero-seek-write-seek-write-.... which results in
non-sparse files for large files. This, unfortunately, is the way cp
now behaves when copying sparse files and so needs to be fixed.
What this code does is that it looks at the existing extent adjacent
to the current EOF and if it determines that it is a hole we disable
speculative preallocation altogether. To avoid the next write from
doing a large prealloc, it takes the size of subsequent
preallocations from the current size of the existing EOF extent.
IOWs, if you leave a hole in the file, it resets preallocation
behaviour to the same as if it was a zero size file.
Example new behaviour:
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 31m" \
-c "pwrite 33m 1m" \
-c "pwrite 128m 1m" \
-c "fiemap -v" /mnt/scratch/blah
