In f2fs_file_write_iter(), let's use f2fs_overwrite_io() to
check whethere it is overwrite case, for such case, we can skip
f2fs_preallocate_blocks() in order to avoid f2fs_do_map_lock(),
which may be blocked by checkpoint() potentially.

This calls f2fs_map_blocks() which can be duplicate, if it's not the overwirte
case. Do we have other benefit?

f2fs_overwrite_io() will break for append write case w/ below check:

    if (pos + len > i_size_read(inode))
        return false;

I guess we may only suffer double f2fs_map_blocks() for write hole
case, e.g. truncate to large size & write inside the filesize. For
this case, how about adding a condition to allow double f2fs_map_blocks()
only if write size is smaller than a threshold?

Thanks,
