[XFS] Fix speculative allocation beyond eof
Speculative allocation beyond eof doesn't work properly. It was
broken some time ago after a code cleanup that moved what is now
xfs_iomap_eof_align_last_fsb() and xfs_iomap_eof_want_preallocate()
out of xfs_iomap_write_delay() into separate functions. The code
used to use the current file size in various checks but got changed
to be max(file_size, i_new_size). Since i_new_size is the result
of 'offset + count' then in xfs_iomap_eof_want_preallocate() the
check for '(offset + count) <= isize' will always be true.
ie if 'offset + count' is > ip->i_size then isize will be i_new_size
and equal to 'offset + count'.
This change fixes all the places that used to use the current file
size.
