xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlock
xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap. This has been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also shown up via lockdep. So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures into and then copy them out after dropping the locks. A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way around that.
