Fix xfs_splice_write() so appended data gets to disk.

xfs_splice_write() failed to update the on disk inode size when
extending the so when the file was closed the range extended by
splice was truncated off. Hence any region of a file written
to by splice would end up as a hole full of zeros.

        - Update xfs inode size if xfs_splice_write is writing beyond the
          end of the current file.
