    In __blockdev_direct_IO, ocfs2_dio_wr_get_block is called to add unwritten
    extents to a list.  extents are also inserted into extent tree in
    ocfs2_write_begin_nolock.  Then another thread call fallocate to puch a
    hole at one of the unwritten extent.  The extent at cpos was removed by
    ocfs2_remove_extent().  At end io worker thread, ocfs2_search_extent_list
    found there is no such extent at the cpos.

    In most filesystems, fallocate is not compatible with racing with AIO+DIO,
    so fix it by adding to wait for all dio before fallocate/punch_hole like
    ext4.
