As discussed earlier, it is better for block client to allocate memory for
tracking extents state before submitting bio. So the patch does it by allocating
a short_extent for every INVALID extent touched by write pagelist and for
every zeroing page we created, saving them in layout header. Then in end_io we
can just use them to create commit list items and avoid memory allocation there.
