xfs: simplify and optimize the RT allocation fallback cascade
There are currently multiple levels of fall back if an RT allocation can not be satisfied: 1) xfs_rtallocate_extent extends the minlen and reduces the maxlen due to the extent size hint. If that can't be done, it return -ENOSPC and let's xfs_bmap_rtalloc retry, which then not only drops the extent size hint based alignment, but also the minlen adjustment 2) if xfs_rtallocate_extent gets -ENOSPC from the underlying functions, it only drops the extent size hint based alignment and retries 3) if that still does not succeed, xfs_rtallocate_extent drops the extent size hint (which is a complex no-op at this point) and the minlen using the same code as (1) above 4) if that still doesn't success and the caller wanted an allocation near a blkno, drop that blkno hint. The handling in 1 is rather inefficient as we could just drop the alignment and continue, and 2/3 interact in really weird ways due to the duplicate policy. Move aligning the min and maxlen out of xfs_rtallocate_extent and into a helper called directly by xfs_bmap_rtalloc. This allows just continuing with the allocation if we have to drop the alignment instead of going through the retry loop and also dropping the perfectly usable minlen adjustment that didn't cause the problem, and then just use a single retry that drops both the minlen and alignment requirement when we really are out of space, thus consolidating cases (2) and (3) above.
