What I wanted to add here is just one case in which compression was
tried, but couldn't save any block, so gave up.
If we put this below the "write" label, we will count blocks, even if
the file is turned off for compression in "user-controlled
compression" mode.
Like the commit comment says, I want to estimate the overall compression rate.
But, if we include every other compression disabled condition, it
won't work like that.

Thanks,
