Ocfs2 devel - Jul 2004 - patch to improve directory creation performance

We found the reason that cause the directory creation is slow again in
the new version.
It is becuase in ocfs_extend_file, it will write zero to new allocated
block.For directory,
it is not needed.
See the patch.

Now the directory creation speed is improved from 700/s to 5000/s.
