Fix callers of xfs_iozero() to zero the correct range.

The problem is the two callers of xfs_iozero() are rounding out the range to be zeroed to the end of a fsb and in some cases this extends past the new eof. The call to commit_write() in xfs_iozero() will cause the Linux inode's file size to be set too high.
