Hi folks,

Currently, xfs_reflink_end_cow_extent() will unconditionally unmap an
extent from DATA fork and then remap an extent from COW fork. It seems
somewhat ineffective since for many cases we could update real bmbt
records directly by sightly enhancing old
xfs_bmap_add_extent_unwritten_real() implementation, thus reduce some
measurable extra metadata overhead.

It's important to us since, actually, we're planing to use a modified
alway-cow like atomic write approach internally for database
applications, therefore it'd be nice to do some optimization over
simple end COW approach. Also I think it's still generic and can
benefit other reflink use cases as well.

I did some tests with ramdisk in order to measure metadata overhead:

echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/always_cow
mkfs.xfs -f -mreflink=1 /dev/ram0
mount /dev/ram0 testdir
fio -filename=testdir/1 -size=1G -ioengine=psync -bs=4k -rw=randwrite -overwrite=1 -direct=1 -end_fsync=1 -name=job1

Test results as below:
Vanilla:
(1)   iops        : min= 7986, max=16434, avg=12505.76, stdev=2400.05, samples=41
(2)   iops        : min= 7636, max=16376, avg=12474.19, stdev=2258.18, samples=42
(3)   iops        : min= 8346, max=16439, avg=12227.95, stdev=2432.12, samples=42
(4)   iops        : min= 8580, max=16496, avg=12779.41, stdev=2297.42, samples=41
(5)   iops        : min= 8286, max=16556, avg=12500.76, stdev=2123.90, samples=41

Patched:
(1)   iops        : min= 7086, max=17132, avg=12931.20, stdev=2729.10, samples=40
(2)   iops        : min= 7704, max=17508, avg=13204.62, stdev=2507.70, samples=39
(3)   iops        : min= 8736, max=17634, avg=13253.08, stdev=2545.18, samples=39
(4)   iops        : min= 7188, max=17550, avg=12928.40, stdev=2633.64, samples=40
(5)   iops        : min= 8268, max=17446, avg=12837.55, stdev=2717.98, samples=40

xfstests seems survived. Comments are much welcomed and
thanks for your time!

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Changes since v1:
 - fix missing tmp_logflags initialization;
 - drop unnecessary realtime inode check pointed out by Darrick.
