xfs: fix allocation length overflow in xfs_bmapi_write()

When testing the new xfstests --large-fs option that does very large
file preallocations, this assert was tripped deep in
xfs_alloc_vextent():

XFS: Assertion failed: args->minlen <= args->maxlen, file: fs/xfs/xfs_alloc.c, line: 2239

The allocation was trying to allocate a zero length extent because
the lower 32 bits of the allocation length was zero. The remaining
length of the allocation to be done was an exact multiple of 2^32 -
the first case I saw was at 496TB remaining to be allocated.

This turns out to be an overflow when converting the allocation
length (a 64 bit quantity) into the extent length to allocate (a 32
bit quantity), and it requires the length to be allocated an exact
multiple of 2^32 blocks to trip the assert.

Fix it by limiting the extent lenth to allocate to MAXEXTLEN.
