xfs: don't nest transactions when scanning for eofblocks
Brian Foster reported a lockdep warning on xfs/167: ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 5.11.0-rc4 #35 Tainted: G W I -------------------------------------------- fsstress/17733 is trying to acquire lock: ffff8e0fd1d90650 (sb_internal){++++}-{0:0}, at: xfs_free_eofblocks+0x104/0x1d0 [xfs] but task is already holding lock: ffff8e0fd1d90650 (sb_internal){++++}-{0:0}, at: xfs_trans_alloc_inode+0x5f/0x160 [xfs] stack backtrace: CPU: 38 PID: 17733 Comm: fsstress Tainted: G W I 5.11.0-rc4 #35 Hardware name: Dell Inc.

While the warning itself is a fairly benign lockdep complaint, it does expose a potential livelock if the rwsem behavior ever changes with regards to nesting read locks when someone's waiting for a write lock. Fix this by freeing the transaction and jumping back to xfs_trans_alloc like this patch in the V4 submission[1].
