[PATCH] xfs: fix write failures in software-provided atomic writes

["Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

With the 5 Oct 2025 release of fstests, generic/521 fails for me on
regular (aka non-block-atomic-writes) storage:

QA output created by 521
dowrite: write: Input/output error
LOG DUMP (8553 total operations):
1(  1 mod 256): SKIPPED (no operation)
2(  2 mod 256): WRITE    0x7e000 thru 0x8dfff	(0x10000 bytes) HOLE
3(  3 mod 256): READ     0x69000 thru 0x79fff	(0x11000 bytes)
4(  4 mod 256): FALLOC   0x53c38 thru 0x5e853	(0xac1b bytes) INTERIOR
5(  5 mod 256): COPY 0x55000 thru 0x59fff	(0x5000 bytes) to 0x25000 thru 0x29fff
6(  6 mod 256): WRITE    0x74000 thru 0x88fff	(0x15000 bytes)
7(  7 mod 256): ZERO     0xedb1 thru 0x11693	(0x28e3 bytes)
<snip>

with a warning in dmesg from iomap about XFS trying to give it a
delalloc mapping for a directio write.  Fix the software atomic write
iomap_begin code to convert the reservation into a written mapping.
This doesn't fix the data corruption problems reported by generic/760,
but it's a start.
