xfs: fix sub-page blocksize data integrity writes

FSX on 512 byte block size filesystems has been failing for some
time with corrupted data. The fault dates back to the change in
the writeback data integrity algorithm that uses a mark-and-sweep
approach to avoid data writeback livelocks.

Unfortunately, a side effect of this mark-and-sweep approach is that
each page will only be written once for a data integrity sync, and
there is a condition in writeback in XFS where a page may require
two writeback attempts to be fully written. As a result of the high
level change, we now only get a partial page writeback during the
integrity sync because the first pass through writeback clears the
mark left on the page index to tell writeback that the page needs
writeback....

The cause is writing a partial page in the clustering code. This can
happen when a mapping boundary falls in the middle of a page - we
end up writing back the first part of the page that the mapping
covers, but then never revisit the page to have the remainder mapped
and written.

The fix is simple - if the mapping boundary falls inside a page,
then simple abort clustering without touching the page. This means
that the next ->writepage entry that write_cache_pages() will make
is the page we aborted on, and xfs_vm_writepage() will map all
sections of the page correctly. This behaviour is also optimal for
non-data integrity writes, as it results in contiguous sequential
writeback of the file rather than missing small holes and having to
write them a "random" writes in a future pass.

With this fix, all the fsx tests in xfstests now pass on a 512 byte
block size filesystem on a 4k page machine.
