    xfs: prepare xfs_break_layouts() for another layout type · 69eb5fa1

    When xfs is operating as the back-end of a pNFS block server, it
    prevents collisions between local and remote operations by requiring a
    lease to be held for remotely accessed blocks. Local filesystem
    operations break those leases before writing or mutating the extent map
    of the file.
    
    A similar mechanism is needed to prevent operations on pinned dax
    mappings, like device-DMA, from colliding with extent unmap operations.
    
    BREAK_WRITE and BREAK_UNMAP are introduced as two distinct levels of
    layout breaking.
    
    Layouts are broken in the BREAK_WRITE case to ensure that layout-holders
    do not collide with local writes. Additionally, layouts are broken in
    the BREAK_UNMAP case to make sure the layout-holder has a consistent
    view of the file's extent map. While BREAK_WRITE breaks can be satisfied
    be recalling FL_LAYOUT leases, BREAK_UNMAP breaks additionally require
    waiting for busy dax-pages to go idle while holding XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL.
    
    After this refactoring xfs_break_layouts() becomes the entry point for
    coordinating both types of breaks. Finally, xfs_break_leased_layouts()
    becomes just the BREAK_WRITE handler.
    
    Note that the unlock tracking is needed in a follow on change. That will
    coordinate retrying either break handler until both successfully test
    for a lease break while maintaining the lock state.
