IOWs, fio is burning ~14 whole CPUs on this spin lock.
So, do an unlocked check against inode size first, then if we are
at/beyond EOF, take the spinlock and recheck. This makes the
spinlock disappear from the overwrite fastpath.
I'd like to report that fixing this makes things go faster. It
doesn't - it just exposes the the XFS_ILOCK as the next severe
contention point doing extent mapping lookups, and that now burns
all the 14 CPUs this spinlock was burning.
