[ Upstream commit 35dc55b9e80cb9ec4bcb969302000b002b2ed850 ]

If xfs_bmapi_write finds a delalloc extent at the requested range, it
tries to convert the entire delalloc extent to a real allocation.

But if the allocator cannot find a single free extent large enough to
cover the start block of the requested range, xfs_bmapi_write will
return 0 but leave *nimaps set to 0.

In that case we simply need to keep looping with the same startoffset_fsb
so that one of the following allocations will eventually reach the
requested range.

Note that this could affect any caller of xfs_bmapi_write that covers
an existing delayed allocation.  As far as I can tell we do not have
any other such caller, though - the regular writeback path uses
xfs_bmapi_convert_delalloc to convert delayed allocations to real ones,
and direct I/O invalidates the page cache first.
