[XFS] Don't wait for pending I/Os when purging blocks beyond eof.
On last close of a file we purge blocks beyond eof. The same code is used
when we truncate the file size down. In this case we need to wait for any
pending I/Os for dirty pages beyond the new eof. For the last close case
we are not changing the file size and therefore do not need to wait for
any I/Os to complete. This fixes a performance bottleneck where writes
into the page cache and cache flushes can become mutually exclusive.
