This series fixes CIFS swapfile xfstests failures caused by incorrect local
i_blocks accounting while cached inode attributes can be used.

The patches cover three cases:

  1. Update i_blocks after contiguous writes, so fully written swapfiles do
     not look sparse.

  2. Do not grow i_blocks on EOF extension, since extending EOF does not
     prove that the range was allocated.

  3. After EOF-extending fallocate, refresh i_blocks from the
     server-reported AllocationSize.

In my setup, the write-created swapfile tests pass with the cifsacl mount
option:

        generic/472 generic/494 generic/497
        generic/569 generic/636 generic/643

generic/496 also passes with this series when the server really allocates the
fallocated range, for example with Samba:

        [scratch_share]
        strict allocate = yes

generic/495 depends on the server-reported allocation unit matching the page
size.  In my Samba setup this requires:

        [global]
        block size = 4096

Thanks,
Huiwen He
