Do you have a reproducer for this? It would be very helpful to add it
to xfstests.

The fix here looks correct to me, but also a little ugly and ad-hoc.

At last we should be using container_of and not casts for getting from a
xfs_da_blkinfo to a xfs_da3_blkinfo (even if there is bad precedence
for the cast in existing code).

But I think it would be useful to add a helper that stamps in the blkno
in for a caller that only has as xfs_da_blkinfo but no xfs_da3_blkinfo
and use in all the places that do it currently in an open coded fashion
e.g. xfs_da3_root_join, xfs_da3_root_split, xfs_attr3_leaf_to_node.

That should probably be done on top of the small backportable fix.
