Btrfs: incremental send, fix unnecessary hole writes for sparse files

When using the NO_HOLES feature, during an incremental send we often issue
write operations for holes when we should not, because that range is already
a hole in the destination snapshot. While that does not change the contents
of the file at the receiver, it avoids preservation of file holes, leading
to wasted disk space and extra IO during send/receive.

A couple examples where the holes are not preserved follows.

 $ mkfs.btrfs -O no-holes -f /dev/sdb
 $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
 $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 4K" /mnt/foo
 $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 4K" -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 1028K 4K" /mnt/bar
 $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap1

 # Now add one new extent to our first test file, increasing its size and
 # leaving a 1Mb hole between the first extent and this new extent.
 $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 1028K 4K" /mnt/foo

 # Now overwrite the last extent of our second test file.
 $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xcc 1028K 4K" /mnt/bar

 $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap2

 $ xfs_io -r -c "fiemap -v" /mnt/snap2/foo
 /mnt/snap2/foo:
 EXT: FILE-OFFSET      BLOCK-RANGE      TOTAL FLAGS
   0: [0..7]:          25088..25095         8 0x2000

   2: [2056..2063]:    24576..24583         8 0x2001

 $ xfs_io -r -c "fiemap -v" /mnt/snap2/bar
 /mnt/snap2/bar:

   2: [2056..2063]:    24584..24591         8 0x2001

  $ btrfs send /mnt/snap1 -f /tmp/1.snap
  $ btrfs send -p /mnt/snap1 /mnt/snap2 -f /tmp/2.snap

  $ umount /mnt
  # It's not relevant to enable no-holes in the new filesystem.
  $ mkfs.btrfs -O no-holes -f /dev/sdc
  $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
  $ btrfs receive /mnt -f /tmp/1.snap
  $ btrfs receive /mnt -f /tmp/2.snap

  $ xfs_io -r -c "fiemap -v" /mnt/snap2/foo
  /mnt/snap2/foo:
  EXT: FILE-OFFSET      BLOCK-RANGE      TOTAL FLAGS
    0: [0..7]:          24576..24583         8 0x2000
    1: [8..2063]:       25624..27679      2056   0x1

  $ xfs_io -r -c "fiemap -v" /mnt/snap2/bar
  /mnt/snap2/bar:
  EXT: FILE-OFFSET      BLOCK-RANGE      TOTAL FLAGS
    0: [0..7]:          24584..24591         8 0x2000
    1: [8..2063]:       27680..29735      2056   0x1

The holes do not exist in the second filesystem and they were replaced
with extents filled with the byte 0x00, making each file take 1032Kb of
space instead of 8Kb.

So fix this by not issuing the write operations consisting of buffers
filled with the byte 0x00 when the destination snapshot already has a
hole for the respective range.

A test case for fstests will follow soon.
