iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc never calls into
iomap_seek_{data,hole} and thus ->iomap_begin.  It just uses the lower
level mapping_seek_hole_data that checks dirty state, and that always
returns either an offset or -ENXIO, which is a special signal and not
an error.

But that is true as well.
