From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

f2fs_write_begin() assumes that all blocks were preallocated by
default unless FI_NO_PREALLOC is explicitly set. This invites data
corruption, as there are cases in which not all blocks are preallocated.
Commit 47501f87c61a ("f2fs: preallocate DIO blocks when forcing
buffered_io") fixed one case, but there are others remaining.

Fix up this logic by replacing this flag with FI_PREALLOCATED_ALL, which
only gets set if all blocks for the current write were preallocated.

Also clean up f2fs_preallocate_blocks(), move it to file.c, and make it
handle some of the logic that was previously in write_iter() directly.

Jaegeuk:
DIO to holes are turning into buffered IO in f2fs_direct_IO, so we should
not preallocate blocks.

Otherwise, it looks good to me.
