xfs: delayed alloc blocks beyond EOF are valid after writeback

There is an assumption in the parts of XFS that flushing a dirty
file will make all the delayed allocation blocks disappear from an
inode. That is, that after calling xfs_flush_pages() then
ip->i_delayed_blks will be zero.

This is an invalid assumption as we may have specualtive
preallocation beyond EOF and they are recorded in
ip->i_delayed_blks. A flush of the dirty pages of an inode will not
change the state of these blocks beyond EOF, so a non-zero
deeelalloc block count after a flush is valid.

The bmap code has an invalid ASSERT() that needs to be removed, and
the swapext code has a bug in that while it swaps the data forks
around, it fails to swap the i_delayed_blks counter associated with
the fork and hence can get the block accounting wrong.
