at area and mark it as a hole. So it does the job of allocating a new extent map and inserting it into the io tree. But if we're creating a new extent we free it up and redo all of that work. So instead pass the em to btrfs_new_extent_direct(), and if it will work just allocate the disk space and set it up properly and bypass the freeing/allocating of a new extent map and the expensive operation of inserting the thing into the io_tree.
