I'd rather not do this. Space used is not a cache consistency attribute
, as we do not use it to revalidate the cache and it can be rather
expensive to retrieve on some platforms.

I'd therefore prefer that we just make sure we mark the cache validity
with NFS_INO_INVALID_OTHER when we have a write succeed on a sparse
file.
