xfs: fix SEEK_DATA for speculative COW fork preallocation



We speculatively allocate extents in the COW fork to reduce
fragmentation.  But when we write data into such COW fork blocks that
do now shadow an allocation in the data fork SEEK_DATA will not
correctly report it, as it only looks at the data fork extents.
The only reason why that hasn't been an issue so far is because
we even use these speculative COW fork preallocations over holes in
the data fork at all for buffered writes, and blocks in the COW
fork that are written by direct writes are moved into the data
fork immediately at I/O completion time.

Add a new set of iomap_ops for SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA which looks into
both the COW and data fork, and reports all COW extents as unwritten
to the iomap layer.  While this isn't strictly true for COW fork
extents that were already converted to real extents, the practical
semantics that you can't read data from them until they are moved
into the data fork are very similar, and this will force the iomap
layer into probing the extents for actually present data.
