[09/10] xfs: fix null bno_hint handling in xfs_rtallocate_rtg

From: Darrick J. Wong <[e-mail]>

xfs_bmap_rtalloc initializes the bno_hint variable to NULLRTBLOCK (aka
NULLFSBLOCK).  If the allocation request is for a file range that's
adjacent to an existing mapping, it will then change bno_hint to the
blkno hint in the bmalloca structure.

In other words, bno_hint is either a rt block number, or it's all 1s.
Unfortunately, commit ec12f97f1b8a8f didn't take the NULLRTBLOCK state
into account, which means that it tries to translate that into a
realtime extent number.  We then end up with an obnoxiously high rtx
number and pointlessly feed that to the near allocator.  This often
fails and falls back to the by-size allocator.  Seeing as we had no
locality hint anyway, this is a waste of time.

Fix the code to detect a lack of bno_hint correctly.  This was detected
by running xfs/009 with metadir enabled and a 28k rt extent size.
