Ignore this, I mixed up the ext4_iomap_punch_delalloc() code
directly above with iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc().

In hindsight, iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc() is poorly
named, as it is handling a short write situation which requires
newly allocated delalloc blocks to be punched.
iomap_file_buffered_write_finish() would probably be a better name
for it....

But this still stands - the first thing
iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc() is:

if (iomap->type != IOMAP_DELALLOC)
return 0;

Cheers,

Dave.
