After taking a closer look at this, I think I'll go with the first idea
to push down xfs_free_extent(). The code below to iterate based on the
EFI, while a nice cleanup, complicates handling the free list on error.
E.g., we currently remove each bmap_free_item as it is successfully
processed so the resulting list is consistent with the items that were
not processed before the error.
It might not matter functionally at the moment since the caller probably
cancels the free list, but I consider that a landmine should we decide
to do something more with the unprocessed entries down the road.
