[PATCH v6 11/12] xfs: add xfs_compute_atomic_write_unit_max()

Now that CoW-based atomic writes are supported, update the max size of an
atomic write for the data device.

The limit of a CoW-based atomic write will be the limit of the number of
logitems which can fit into a single transaction.

In addition, the max atomic write size needs to be aligned to the agsize.
Limit the size of atomic writes to the greatest power-of-two factor of the
agsize so that allocations for an atomic write will always be aligned
compatibly with the alignment requirements of the storage.

rtvol is not commonly used, so it is not very important to support large
atomic writes there initially.

Furthermore, adding large atomic writes for rtvol would be complicated due
to alignment already offered by rtextsize and also the limitation of
reflink support only be possible for rtextsize is a power-of-2.

Function xfs_atomic_write_logitems() is added to find the limit the number
of log items which can fit in a single transaction.

Darrick Wong contributed the changes in xfs_atomic_write_logitems()
originally, but may now be outdated by [0].
