On a DIO_SKIP_HOLES filesystem, the ->get_block() method is currently
not allowed to create blocks for an empty inode. This confusion comes
from trying to bit shift a negative number, so check the size of the
inode first.
The problem is most visible for hfsplus, because the fallback to
buffered I/O doesn't happen and the write fails with EIO. This is in
part the fault of the module, because it gives a wrong return value on
->get_block(); that will be fixed in a separate patch.
