While we're combining patches, I think it makes sense to modify
_iomap_write_allocate so that when it's converting a data fork
delalloc reservation into a real extent that it should look for an
adjacent (file offset-wise) real extent in the CoW fork and feed that
to the allocator in the hopes of allocating all the blocks in the same
part of the disk.  Or better yet as one big(ger) extent record.
