ext4: fix EOFBLOCKS_FL handling
It turns out we have several problems with how EOFBLOCKS_FL is
handled. First of all, there was a fencepost error where we were not
clearing the EOFBLOCKS_FL when fill in the last uninitialized block,
but rather when we allocate the next block _after_ the uninitalized
block. Secondly we were not testing to see if we needed to clear the
EOFBLOCKS_FL when writing to the file O_DIRECT or when were converting
an uninitialized block (which is the most common case).
