This looks good in general and now passes testing for me. A couple

Removing xfs_cancel_ioend and replacing it with the start and cancel
writeback scheme that we currently only use for
xfs_setfilesize_trans_alloc failures actually seems to be the biggest
change in this patch and is entirely undocumented. Any chance you
could split this into a prep patch and properly document it?

We now start a new ioend if the blocks aren't contiguous, which seems
reasonable. But this also means the similar check in xfs_submit_ioend
should be removed at the same time.
