xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlock

xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap
structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap.  This has
been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also
shown up via lockdep.

So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures
into and then copy them out after dropping the locks.

A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we
can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way
around that.
