[PATCH] xfs: keep successful near rt allocations

[Rik van Riel]

XFS realtime allocations first attempt to allocate space near where
other parts of a file already are. If that allocation succeeds, it
does not have to do a global search for free space.

Unfortunately, a code cleanup a while ago causes xfs_rtallocate_rtg
to unconditionally do the global search, even when the search for a
nearby extent has succeeded.

Fix it by running the global search only when the near search did
not find available space.

Found by noticing higher kernel CPU use and examining the profile.
