rbd: prefix rbd writes with CEPH_OSD_OP_SETALLOCHINT osd op


In an effort to reduce fragmentation, prefix every rbd write with
a CEPH_OSD_OP_SETALLOCHINT osd op with an expected_write_size value set
to the object size (1 << order).  Backwards compatibility is taken care
of on the libceph/osd side.

"The CEPH_OSD_OP_SETALLOCHINT hint is durable, in that it's enough to
do it once.  The reason every rbd write is prefixed is that rbd doesn't
explicitly create objects and relies on writes creating them
implicitly, so there is no place to stick a single hint op into.  To
get around that we decided to prefix every rbd write with a hint (just
like write and setattr ops, hint op will create an object implicitly if
it doesn't exist)."
