[PATCH 3/4] xfs/420: fix occasional test failures due to pagecache readahead

Every now and then, this test fails with this golden output:

Curiously, the file checksums always match, and it's not *forbidden* for
the page cache to have a page backing an unwritten extent that hasn't
been written.

The condition that this test cares about is that block 3 (192k-256k) are
reported by SEEK_DATA as data even if the data fork has a hole and the
COW fork has an unwritten extent.  Matthew Wilcox thinks this is a side
effect of readahead.

To fix this occasional false failure, call SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE only
on the offsets that we care about.
