Re: [write-beind] why we don't cache if length of data can not be divided by 4096.

Li,
 this is legacy code from the time when the inode framework was not around,
and multiple fds and plain calls on filenames could not be related. back
then the aggregate-size was used as a mean to aggregate only broken writes
of fuse. I guess we can remove this piece of code now though it actually
causes no "harm".
