xfs: fix COW writeback race

Due to the way how xfs_iomap_write_allocate tries to convert the whole
found extents from delalloc to real space we can run into a race
condition with multiple threads doing writes to this same extent.
For the non-COW case that is harmless as the only thing that can happen
is that we call xfs_bmapi_write on an extent that has already been
converted to a real allocation.  For COW writes where we move the extent
from the COW to the data fork after I/O completion the race is, however,
not quite as harmless.  In the worst case we are now calling
xfs_bmapi_write on a region that contains hole in the COW work, which
will trip up an assert in debug builds or lead to file system corruption
in non-debug builds.  This seems to be reproducible with workloads of
small O_DSYNC write, although so far I've not managed to come up with
a with an isolated reproducer.

The fix for the issue is relatively simple:  tell xfs_bmapi_write
that we are only asked to convert delayed allocations and skip holes
in that case.
