Series iomap: avoid flushes for partial eof zeroing | expand

Commit Message

In preparation for special handling of subranges, lift the zeroed
mapping logic from the iterator into the caller. Since this puts the
pagecache dirty check and flushing in the same place, streamline the
comments a bit as well.

Needs a blank line after the declaration, but other than picking nits
this looks ok to me.
