If you expand what xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize and xfs_inode_has_bigrtalloc
this is looking a bit silly:

	unsigned int            blocks = 1;

	if (XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE(ip))
		blocks = ip->i_mount->m_sb.sb_rextsize;

	unitsize = XFS_FSB_TO_B(ip->i_mount, blocks);
	if (XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE(ip) && ip->i_mount->m_sb.sb_rextsize > 1)
		unsitsize = i_blocksize(inode);

So I think we can simply drop this part now that the variant that zeroes
the entire rtextent is gone.

Same here.  And with that probably also the passing of the block size
to the truncate_page helpers.
