For traditional disks, the filesystem attempts to allocate the
blocks of a file as contiguously as possible. Since the filesystem
does not know how large a file will grow when it is first being
written, it initially places the file in a set of blocks in which
it currently fits. As it grows, it is relocated to areas with
larger contiguous blocks. In this way it saves its large contiguous
sets of blocks for the files that need them and thus avoids
unnecessaily fragmenting its disk space.

We used to skip reallocating the blocks of a file into a contiguous
sequence if the underlying flash device requested BIO_DELETE
notifications, because devices that benefit from BIO_DELETE also
benefit from not moving the data. However, in the algorithm described
above that reallocates the blocks, the destination for the data is
usually moved before the data is written to the initially allocated
location. So we rarely suffer the penalty of extra writes. With
the addition of the consolodation of contiguous blocks into single
BIO_DELETE operations, having fewer but larger contiguous blocks
reduces the number of (slow and expensive) BIO_DELETE operations.
So when doing BIO_DELETE consolodation, we do block reallocation.
