Hello,

These are RFC patches to get community view on converting
ext4 bmap & fiemap to iomap infrastructure. This reduces the users
of ext4_get_block API and thus a step towards getting rid of
buffer_heads from ext4. Also reduces the line of code by making
use of iomap infrastructure (ex4_iomap_begin) which is already
used for other operations.

This gets rid of special implementation of ext4_fill_fiemap_extents
& ext4_find_delayed_extent and thus only relies upon ext4_map_blocks
& iomap_fiemap (ext4_iomap_begin) for mapping. It looked more logical
thing to do, but I appreciate if anyone has any review/feedback
comments about this part.

Didn't get any regression on some basic xfstests in tests/ext4/
with mkfs option of "-b 4096". Please let me know if I should also test
any special configurations?

Patches can be cleanly applied over Linux 5.3-rc5.
