This patch improve the performance very well, but it seems to break
xfstest generic/285.

xfstest generic/285:
06.11 SEEK_HOLE expected 8192 or 16384, got 8191. FAIL
06.12 SEEK_DATA expected 8191 or 8191, got 12288. FAIL
06.23 SEEK_HOLE expected 16384 or 16384, got 16383. FAIL
06.24 SEEK_DATA expected 16383 or 16383, got -1. FAIL
