Call xfs_flush_unmap_range from xfs_free_file_space so that
xfs_file_fallocate doesn't have to predict which mode will call it.

Hmm.  I /think/ it's ok to shift the xfs_flush_unmap_range after the
file_modified and some of the other EINVAL bailouts that can happen
before xfs_free_file_space gets called.  Effectively that means that we
can fail faster now? :)

Later on this means that the cow-around code that the rtreflink patchset
introduces will also get flushed to disk before we start
collapsing/zeroing/punching.  AFAICT that should be fine.
