xfs: allow read IO and FICLONE to run concurrently

One of our VM cluster management products needs to snapshot KVM image
files so that they can be restored in case of failure. Snapshotting is
done by redirecting VM disk writes to a sidecar file and using reflink
on the disk image, specifically the FICLONE ioctl as used by
"cp --reflink". Reflink locks the source and destination files while it
operates, which means that reads from the main vm disk image are blocked,
causing the vm to stall. When an image file is heavily fragmented, the
copy process could take several minutes. Some of the vm image files have
50-100 million extent records, and duplicating that much metadata locks
the file for 30 minutes or more. Having activities suspended for such
a long time in a cluster node could result in node eviction.

Clone operations and read IO do not change any data in the source file,
so they should be able to run concurrently. Demote the exclusive locks
taken by FICLONE to shared locks to allow reads while cloning. While a
clone is in progress, writes will take the IOLOCK_EXCL, so they block
until the clone completes.
