HFS and HFS+ do not support sparse files: every byte of a file
up to end-of-file has to be backed by an allocated block. As a
result, a write, truncate or copy_file_range() far beyond the
current end-of-file makes the driver zero-fill the whole gap,
which runs out of free space and fails with -ENOSPC rather than
reporting -EFBIG.
Since a file can never be larger than the volume, this series sets
s_maxbytes to the volume capacity instead (capped by
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE for HFS+ and by MAX_NON_LFS for HFS). The VFS then
returns -EFBIG for write(), copy_file_range(), truncate and
fallocate beyond the limit, and trims writes that straddle it. The
now redundant local checks are removed.

The xfstests' test-case generic/564 expects -EFBIG when
copy_file_range() targets a destination offset near 8EiB.
hfsplus_fill_super() sets s_maxbytes to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE,
so the VFS limit checks (generic_write_check_limits())
only trim the length instead of failing, and the request
reaches the file system. Because HFS+ does not support
holes, the driver then tries to zero-fill the whole gap
up to the target offset, and the operation fails with
-ENOSPC instead of -EFBIG.
This was previously worked around by a local check
against the volume capacity in hfsplus_write_begin().
That check only covered the write path and only the
start offset: truncate up, copy_file_range() and writes
that straddle the limit were not handled.
Every byte of an HFS+ file up to end-of-file must be
backed by an allocated block, so a file can never be
larger than the volume. Set s_maxbytes to the volume
capacity (total_blocks << alloc_blksz_shift, capped by
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE). The VFS then returns -EFBIG for
write(), copy_file_range(), truncate and fallocate
beyond that limit, and trims writes that straddle it.
Drop the now redundant local check from
hfsplus_write_begin().

Likewise HFS+, HFS returned -ENOSPC instead of -EFBIG when
a write targets an offset beyond the capacity of the volume.
hfs_fill_super() does not set s_maxbytes, so it keeps the
VFS default of MAX_NON_LFS (2GiB - 1). On a volume smaller
than that, the VFS limit checks consider the position valid
and the request reaches the file system. Because HFS does
not support holes, cont_write_begin() then tries to zero-fill
the whole gap up to the target offset, and the operation
fails with -ENOSPC.
This was previously worked around by a local check against
the volume capacity in hfs_write_begin(). That check only
covered the write path and only the start offset: truncate
up, copy_file_range() and writes that straddle the limit
were not handled.
Every byte of an HFS file up to end-of-file must be backed
by an allocated block, so a file can never be larger than
the volume. Set s_maxbytes to the volume capacity
(fs_ablocks * alloc_blksz, capped by MAX_NON_LFS). The VFS
then returns -EFBIG for write(), copy_file_range(), truncate
and fallocate beyond that limit, and trims writes that
straddle it. Drop the now redundant local check from
hfs_write_begin().
