iomap: warn on zero range of a post-eof folio
iomap_zero_range() uses buffered writes for manual zeroing, no longer updates i_size for such writes, but is still explicitly called for post-eof ranges. The historical use case for this is zeroing post-eof speculative preallocation on extending writes from XFS. However, XFS also recently changed to convert all post-eof delalloc mappings to unwritten in the iomap_begin() handler, which means it now never expects manual zeroing of post-eof mappings. In other words, all post-eof mappings should be reported as holes or unwritten. This is a subtle dependency that can be hard to detect if violated because associated codepaths are likely to update i_size after folio locks are dropped, but before writeback happens to occur. For example, if XFS reverts back to some form of manual zeroing of post-eof blocks on write extension, writeback of those zeroed folios will now race with the presumed i_size update from the subsequent buffered write. Since iomap_zero_range() can't correctly zero post-eof mappings beyond EOF without updating i_size, warn if this ever occurs. This serves as minimal indication that if this use case is reintroduced by a filesystem, iomap_zero_range() might need to reconsider i_size updates for write extending use cases.
