How does it happen that xfs_rtfree_blocks gets called more than once in
the same transaction? Is that simply the effect of xfs_bunmapi_range
and xfs_unmap_exten calling __xfs_bunmapi with
nextents == XFS_ITRUNC_MAX_EXTENTS==2?

What if we simply didn't unmap multiple extents per bunmapi call for
realtime files? Would that eliminate the need for
XFS_TRANS_RTBITMAP_LOCKED?
