NFS: Optimise append writes with holes

If a file is being extended, and we're creating a hole, we might as well
declare the entire page to be up to date.

This patch significantly improves the write performance for sparse files
in the case where lseek(SEEK_END) is used to append several non-contiguous
writes at intervals of < PAGE_SIZE.
