Sometimes our start allocation hint when we cow a file can be either EXTENT_HOLE or some other such place holder, which is not optimal. So if we find that our em->block_start is one of these special values, check to see where the first block of the inode is stored, and use that as a hint. If that block is also a special value, just fallback on a hint of 0 and let the allocator figure out a good place to put the data.
