Commit 27a3f8f ("xfs: introduce xfs_bmap_last_extent") changed the behaviour of this function for empty files - it turned off allocation alignment for this case accidentally. Hence large initial allocations from direct IO are not getting correctly aligned to the underlying geometry, and that is cause write performance to drop in alignment sensitive configurations. Fix it by considering allocation into empty files as requiring aligned allocation again.

However, there is not need for a directory buffer sized allocation, as the end result ends up in the inode literal area. This is, at most, slightly less than 2k of space, and hence we don't need an allocation larger than that fora temporary buffer.
