[RFC PATCH 15/18] ext4: writeback partial blocks before zero range

[Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huaweicloud.com>]

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>

If we zero partial blocks, iomap_zero_iter() will skip zeroing out if
the srcmap is IOMAP_UNWRITTEN, it works fine in xfs because this type
means the block is pure unwritten, doesn't contain any delayed data,
but in ext4, IOMAP_UNWRITTEN may contain delayed data, it may hard to
change the definition of this flag in ext4, so just writeback partial
blocks firstly, make sure it becomes IOMAP_MAPPED.
