xfs: xfs_trans_alloc_empty 

This is a partial cherry-pick of commit e89c041338
("xfs: implement the GETFSMAP ioctl"), which also adds this helper, and
a great example of why feature patches should be properly split into
their parts.

* Create an empty transaction with no reservation. This is a defensive
* mechanism for routines that query metadata without actually modifying
* them -- if the metadata being queried is somehow cross-linked (think a
* btree block pointer that points higher in the tree), we risk deadlock.
* However, blocks grabbed as part of a transaction can be re-grabbed.
* The verifiers will notice the corrupt block and the operation will fail
* back to userspace without deadlocking.

* Note the zero-length reservation; this transaction MUST be cancelled
