iomap: support partial page discard on writeback block mapping failure



iomap writeback mapping failure only calls into ->discard_page() if
the current page has not been added to the ioend. Accordingly, the
XFS callback assumes a full page discard and invalidation. This is
problematic for sub-page block size filesystems where some portion
of a page might have been mapped successfully before a failure to
map a delalloc block occurs. ->discard_page() is not called in that
error scenario and the bio is explicitly failed by iomap via the
error return from ->prepare_ioend(). As a result, the filesystem
leaks delalloc blocks and corrupts the filesystem block counters.

Since XFS is the only user of ->discard_page(), tweak the semantics
to invoke the callback unconditionally on mapping errors and provide
the file offset that failed to map. Update xfs_discard_page() to
discard the corresponding portion of the file and pass the range
along to iomap_invalidatepage(). The latter already properly handles
both full and sub-page scenarios by not changing any iomap or page
state on sub-page invalidations.
