Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/18] ext4: add a hole extent entry in cache after punch

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

In order to cache hole extents in the extent status tree and keep the
hole continuity as much as possible, add a hole entry to the cache after
punching a hole. It can reduce the 'hole' in some continuous hole extent
entries.
