That's the way it was working.  With this change, we track the server's idea
of the file size separately from our local inode->i_size (which is updated by
the modifications into the pagecache) and only expand the server's setting to
the end of the data we're storing, not to our local i_size.  I'm trying to
avoid zeroed-out regions appearing in the file.

Forcible expansion by truncate is a different matter.
