No.  As said for previous versions you should not use
iomap_dio_alignment.  There is no such things as sub-fsblock alignment
for holes.  All mappings need to be aligned on fs blocks, you can do
sub-mapping granularity I/O in it, but not align on it.  So don't
call iomap_dio_alignment, but instead align down the shortened range
from the fault to a fs block boundary.

And really sort out the btrfs locking that we can't get rid of this
premature faulting as it keeps messing up core code way too much.
