fuse: add extent map I/O support

This commit wires up read, write, splice, and mmap operations for
extent-mapped files using the iomap and DAX infrastructure. When a
passthrough file is opened with an EXTMAP backing, I/O is dispatched
to the associated DAX devices.

[Severity: High]
Can returning -EIO here cause memory management fault handler corruption? 

When CONFIG_FS_DAX is disabled, these macros stub out the DAX fault 
handlers to return -EIO. However, the return type of the fault handlers 
is vm_fault_t, which expects a bitmask of VM_FAULT_* flags (such as 
VM_FAULT_SIGBUS).

Returning a negative integer like -EIO is interpreted as setting almost
all VM_FAULT_x bits simultaneously. This might lead to unpredictable
kernel behavior or infinite fault loops when handled by the core memory
management fault logic.

[Severity: Medium]
Is -EFBIG the correct error code to return for writes past the end of an 
extent-mapped file? 

The fuse_rw_clamp() call truncates the iterator if the write starts at or
beyond the current file size. Returning -EFBIG in this condition maps a
standard EOF or out-of-space scenario to a file too large error. 

POSIX semantics generally expect -ENOSPC or 0 (a short write) when writing
past a non-extensible block device or fixed-size mapping. Returning -EFBIG
might cause applications like cp or dd to fail incorrectly or inadvertently
trigger a SIGXFSZ signal.

[Severity: High]
Does this early return bypass CPU cache flushing and metadata sync for 
EXTMAP DAX files? 

For FUSE passthrough EXTMAP files, IS_DAX(inode) will be true, but 
fuse_inode_vdax(inode) evaluates to false since vdax is specific to the 
traditional virtio-fs DAX window. 

Returning 0 here completely skips file_write_and_wait_range(), which is
needed to flush CPU caches for DAX memory via dax_writeback_mapping_range().
It also skips sync_inode_metadata(), which syncs metadata updates to the 
FUSE server. This bypass could cause CPU-cached DAX writes to be lost on a
crash, violating DAX durability guarantees.
