ocfs2: fix write() performance regression
On file systems which don't support sparse files, Ocfs2_map_page_blocks() was reading blocks on appending writes. This caused write performance to suffer dramatically. Fix this by detecting an appending write on a nonsparse fs and skipping the read. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
