When we have a workload that does open/read/close in parallel with other
allocation, the file becomes rapidly fragmented. This is due to close()
calling xfs_file_release() and removing the speculative preallocation
beyond EOF.
Add a check for a writable context to xfs_file_release to skip the
post-EOF block freeing (an the similarly pointless flushing on truncate
down).
