ext4: fix punch hole on files with indirect mapping

Currently punch hole code on files with direct/indirect mapping has some
problems which may lead to a data loss. For example (from Jan Kara):

fallocate -n -p 10240000 4096

will punch the range 10240000 - 12632064 instead of the range 1024000 -
10244096.

Also the code is a bit weird and it's not using infrastructure provided
by indirect.c, but rather creating it's own way.

This patch fixes the issues as well as making the operation to run 4
times faster from my testing (punching out 60GB file). It uses similar
approach used in ext4_ind_truncate() which takes advantage of
ext4_free_branches() function.

Also rename the ext4_free_hole_blocks() to something more sensible, like
the equivalent we have for extent mapped files. Call it
ext4_ind_remove_space().

This has been tested mostly with fsx and some xfstests which are testing
punch hole but does not require unwritten extents which are not
supported with direct/indirect mapping. Not problems showed up even with
1024k block size.
