[XFS] Don't do I/O beyond eof when unreserving space
When unreserving space with boundaries that are not block aligned we round up the start and round down the end boundaries and then use this function, xfs_zero_remaining_bytes(), to zero the parts of the blocks that got dropped during the rounding. The problem is we don't consider if these blocks are beyond eof. Worse still is if we encounter delayed allocations beyond eof we will try to use the magic delayed allocation block number as a real block number. If the file size is ever extended to expose these blocks then we'll go through xfs_zero_eof() to zero them anyway.
