[PATCH RFC 10/10] xfs: Allow block allocator to take an alignment hint

[John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com>]

When issuing an atomic write by the CoW method, give the block allocator a
hint to naturally align the data blocks.

This means that we have a better chance to issuing the atomic write via
HW offload next time.
