Also, when it steps on a file hole, it will fall back to buffer io, too. But for current code, writing to file hole will leverage dio to allocate clusters. This is not right, since whether append-io is enabled tells the capability whether ocfs2 can allocate space while doing dio. So introduce file hole check function back into ocfs2. Once ocfs2 is doing dio upon a file hole with append-dio disabled, it will fall back to buffer IO to allocate clusters.
