xfs: introduce XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH
Certain allocation paths through xfs_bmapi_write() are in situations where we have limited stack available. These are almost always in the buffered IO writeback path when convertion delayed allocation extents to real extents. The current stack switch occurs for userdata allocations, which means we also do stack switches for preallocation, direct IO and unwritten extent conversion, even those these call chains have never been implicated in a stack overrun. Hence, let's target just the single stack overun offended for stack switches. To do that, introduce a XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH flag that the caller can pass xfs_bmapi_write() to indicate it should switch stacks if it needs to do allocation.
