xfs: reduce excessive clamping of maxlen in xfs_rtallocate_extent_near
The near rt allocator employs two allocation strategies -- first it
tries to allocate at exactly @start. If that fails, it will pivot back
and forth around that starting point looking for an appropriately sized
free space.
However, I clamped maxlen ages ago to prevent the exact allocation scan
from running off the end of the rt volume. This, I realize, was
excessive. If the allocation request is (say) for 32 rtx but the start
position is 5 rtx from the end of the volume, we clamp maxlen to 5. If
the exact allocation fails, we then pivot back and forth looking for 5
rtx, even though the original intent was to try to get 32 rtx.
If we then find 5 rtx when we could have gotten 32 rtx, we've not done
as well as we could have. This may be moot if the caller immediately
comes back for more space, but it might not be. Either way, we can do
better here.
