This idea is from ext4. By this patch, we can make the dio write parallel,
and improve the performance. But because we can not update isize without
i_mutex, the unlocked dio write just can be done in front of the EOF.
We needn''t worry about the race between dio write and truncate, because
the
truncate need wait untill all the dio write end.
And we also needn''t worry about the race between dio write and punch
hole,
because we have extent lock to protect our operation.
I ran fio to test the performance of this feature.
