Minor comment, but otherwise.
Patch looks good to me. You may add:

We don't need "first_block" argument here. Since
map->m_lblk saves first_block directly above in the same function.

No strong objection against ext4_iomap_alloc, but
maybe ext4_iomap_map_write sounds better?
Either way is fine though.
