xfs: reinstate delalloc for RT inodes (if sb_rextsize == 1)
Commit aff3a9ed ("xfs: Use preallocation for inodes with extsz hints") disabled delayed allocation for all inodes with extent size hints due a data exposure problem. It turns out we fixed this data exposure problem since by always creating unwritten extents for delalloc conversions due to more data exposure problems, but the writeback path doesn't actually support extent size hints when converting delalloc these days, which probably isn't a problem given that people using the hints know what they get. However due to the way how xfs_get_extsz_hint is implemented, it always claims an extent size hint for RT inodes even if the RT extent size is a single FSB. Due to that the above commit effectively disabled delalloc support for RT inodes. Switch xfs_get_extsz_hint to return 0 for this case and work around that in a few places to reinstate delalloc support for RT inodes on file systems with an sb_rextsize of 1.
