The autodefrag code skips defrag when two extents are adjacent. But one big advantage for autodefrag is cutting down on the number of small extents, even when they are adjacent. This commit changes it to defrag all small extents. This is especially useful when trying to use compression on slowly growing log files. We usually end up writing 4K or less at a time, so the compression code isn't able to compress across multiple pages.
