Thanks for the suggestion, I'm not sure how often as well, but I suppose
we could do this optimisation since I've tested it and found this is
harmless for the case of writing new data to a fresh folio. However, this
can further improves the overwrite performance, the UnixBench tests result
shows the performance gain can be increased to about ~15% on my machine
with 50GB ramdisk and xfs filesystem.

UnixBench test cmd:
 ./Run -i 1 -c 1 fstime-w

Base:
x86    File Write 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks       524708.0 KBps
arm64  File Write 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks       801965.0 KBps

After this series:
x86    File Write 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks       569218.0 KBps
arm64  File Write 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks       871605.0 KBps

After this measurable optimisation:
x86    File Write 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks       609620.0 KBps
arm64  File Write 1024 bufsize 2000 maxblocks       910534.0 KBps

Thanks,
Yi.
