xfs: Make fiemap work with sparse files
In xfs_vn_fiemap, we set bvm_count to fi_extent_max + 1 and want
to return fi_extent_max extents, but actually it won't work for
a sparse file. The reason is that in xfs_getbmap we will
calculate holes and set it in 'out', while out is malloced by
bmv_count(fi_extent_max+1) which didn't consider holes. So in the
worst case, if 'out' vector looks like
[hole, extent, hole, extent, hole, ... hole, extent, hole],
we will only return half of fi_extent_max extents.
This patch add a new parameter BMV_IF_NO_HOLES for bvm_iflags.
So with this flags, we don't use our 'out' in xfs_getbmap for
a hole. The solution is a bit ugly by just don't increasing
index of 'out' vector. I felt that it is not easy to skip it
at the very beginning since we have the complicated check and
some function like xfs_getbmapx_fix_eof_hole to adjust 'out'.
