xfs: report cow mappings with dirty pagecache for iomap zero range

XFS has long supported the case where it is possible to have dirty
data in pagecache backed by COW fork blocks and a hole in the data
fork. This occurs for two reasons. On reflink enabled files, COW
fork blocks are allocated with preallocation to help avoid
fragmention. Second, if a mapping lookup for a write finds blocks in
the COW fork, it consumes those blocks unconditionally. This might
mean that COW fork blocks are backed by non-shared blocks or even a
hole in the data fork, both of which are perfectly fine.

This leaves an odd corner case for zero range, however, because it
needs to distinguish between ranges that are sparse and thus do not
require zeroing and those that are not. A range backed by COW fork
blocks and a data fork hole might either be a legitimate hole in the
file or a range with pending buffered writes that will be written
back (which will remap COW fork blocks into the data fork).

This "COW fork blocks over data fork hole" situation has
historically been reported as a hole to iomap, which then has grown
a flush hack as a workaround to ensure zeroing occurs correctly. Now
that this has been lifted into the filesystem and replaced by the
dirty folio lookup mechanism, we can do better and use the pagecache
state to decide how to report the mapping. If a COW fork range
exists with dirty folios in cache, then report a typical shared
mapping. If the range is clean in cache, then we can consider the
COW blocks preallocation and call it a hole.

This doesn't fundamentally change behavior, but makes mapping
reporting more accurate. Note that this does require splitting
across the EOF boundary (similar to normal zero range) to ensure we
don't spuriously perform post-eof zeroing. iomap will warn about
zeroing beyond EOF because folios beyond i_size may not be written
back.
