On systems where SEEK_HOLE in a trailing hole seeks to EOF (Solaris,

Additionally, unlikely lseek() failures are treated badly:
* When SEEK_HOLE fails, try_seek_hole() reports trailing data. For
-ENXIO, there's in fact a trailing hole. Can happen only when
something truncated the file since we opened it.
* When SEEK_HOLE succeeds, SEEK_DATA fails, and SEEK_END succeeds,
then try_seek_hole() reports a trailing hole. This is okay only
when SEEK_DATA failed with -ENXIO (which means the non-trailing hole
found by SEEK_HOLE has since become trailing somehow). For other
failures (unlikely), it's wrong.
* When SEEK_HOLE succeeds, SEEK_DATA fails, SEEK_END fails (unlikely),
then try_seek_hole() reports bogus data [-1,start), which its caller
raw_co_get_block_status() turns into zero sectors of data. Could
theoretically lead to infinite loops in code that attempts to scan
data vs. hole forward.
Rewrite from scratch, with very careful comments.
