xfs: create a sparse load xfarray function
Create a new method to load an xfarray element from the xfile, but with a twist. If we've never stored to the array index, zero the caller's buffer. This will facilitate RMWs updates of records in a sparse array without fuss, since the sparse xfarray convention is that uninitialized array elements default to zeroes. This is a separate patch to reduce the size of the upcoming quotacheck patch. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
