This turned out to be buggy.  Darrick and I figured out why his tests
were failing and mine weren't; this only shows up with a 4kB block
size filesystem and I was only testing with 1kB block size filesystems.
(at least on x86; I haven't figured out why it passes with 1kB block size
filesystems, so I'm not sure what would be true on other filesystems).
iomap_write_begin() is not prepared to deal with a length that spans a
page boundary.  So I'm replacing this patch with the following patches
(whitespace damaged; pick them up from

Author: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) [off-list ref]
Date:   Thu Dec 9 15:47:44 2021 -0500

    iomap: Allow iomap_write_begin() to be called with the full length

    In the future, we want write_begin to know the entire length of the
    write so that it can choose to allocate large folios.  Pass the full
    length in from __iomap_zero_iter() and limit it where necessary.

    iomap: Convert __iomap_zero_iter to use a folio
    
    The zero iterator can work in folio-sized chunks instead of page-sized
    chunks.  This will save a lot of page cache lookups if the file is cached
    in large folios.

The xfstests that Darrick identified as failing all passed.  Running a
full sweep now; then I'll re-run with a 1kB filesystem to be sure that
still passes.  Then I'll send another pull request.
