gfs2: Never call gfs2_block_zero_range with an open transaction

commit 70499cdfeb3625c87eebe4f7a7ea06fa7447e5df upstream.

Before this patch, some functions started transactions then they called
gfs2_block_zero_range. However, gfs2_block_zero_range, like writes, can
start transactions, which results in a recursive transaction error.
For example:

do_shrink
   trunc_start
      gfs2_trans_begin <------------------------------------------------
         gfs2_block_zero_range
            iomap_zero_range(inode, from, length, NULL, &gfs2_iomap_ops);
               iomap_apply ... iomap_zero_range_actor
                  iomap_begin
                     gfs2_iomap_begin
                        gfs2_iomap_begin_write
                  actor (iomap_zero_range_actor)
     iomap_zero
iomap_write_begin
   gfs2_iomap_page_prepare
      gfs2_trans_begin <------------------------

This patch reorders the callers of gfs2_block_zero_range so that they
only start their transactions after the call. It also adds a BUG_ON to
ensure this doesn't happen again.

Fixes: 2257e468a63b ("gfs2: implement gfs2_block_zero_range using iomap_zero_range")
