iomap: fix handling of dirty folios over unwritten extents

The iomap zero range implementation doesn't properly handle dirty
pagecache over unwritten mappings. It skips such mappings as if they
were pre-zeroed. If some part of an unwritten mapping is dirty in
pagecache from a previous write, the data in cache should be zeroed
as well. Instead, the data is left in cache and creates a stale data
exposure problem if writeback occurs sometime after the zero range.

Most callers are unaffected by this because the higher level
filesystem contexts that call zero range typically perform a filemap
flush of the target range for other reasons. A couple contexts that
don't otherwise need to flush are write file size extension and
truncate in XFS. The former path is currently susceptible to the
stale data exposure problem and the latter performs a flush
specifically to work around it.

This is clearly inconsistent and incomplete. As a first step toward
correcting behavior, lift the XFS workaround to iomap_zero_range()
and unconditionally flush the range before the zero range operation
proceeds. While this appears to be a bit of a big hammer, most all
users already do this from calling context save for the couple of
exceptions noted above. Future patches will optimize or elide this
flush while maintaining functional correctness.
