xfs: push the ilock into xfs_zero_eof
Instead of calling xfs_zero_eof with the ilock held only take it internally for the minimall required critical section around xfs_bmapi_read. This also requires changing the calling convention for xfs_zero_last_block slightly. The actual zeroing operation is still serialized by the iolock, which must be taken exclusively over the call to xfs_zero_eof. We could in fact use a shared lock for the xfs_bmapi_read calls as long as the extent list has been read in, but given that we already hold the iolock exclusively there is little reason to micro optimize this further.
