pNFS: Avoid read/modify/write when it is not necessary

pNFS: Avoid read/modify/write when it is not necessary

As the block and SCSI layouts can only read/write fixed-length
blocks, we must perform read-modify-write when data to be written is
not aligned to a block boundary or smaller than the block size.
(612aa983a0410 pnfs: add flag to force read-modify-write in ->write_begin)

The current code tries to see if we have to do read-modify-write
on block-oriented pNFS layouts by just checking !PageUptodate(page),
but the same condition also applies for overwriting of any uncached
potions of existing files, making such operations excessively slow
even it is block-aligned.

The change does not affect the optimization for modify-write-read
cases (38c73044f5f4d NFS: read-modify-write page updating),
because partial update of !PageUptodate() pages can only happen
in layouts that can do arbitrary length read/write and never
in block-based ones.

Testing results:

We ran fio on one of the pNFS clients running 4.20 kernel
(vanilla and patched) in this configuration to read/write/overwrite
files on the storage array, exported as pnfs share by the server.

Throughput of overwrite (both buffered and O_SYNC) is noticeably
improved.

Read and write (buffered and O_SYNC) by the same client remain unchanged
by the patch either negatively or positively, as they should do.
