[PATCH 02/11] xfstests: randholes: only allocate write buffer when needed

[Alex Elder]

If nothing is being written (i.e., in "test" mode), there's no need
for "randholes" to allocate a write buffer.  But to do this we make
this series of changes:
- When "very" verbose (> 1), there's no point in printing the values
  that have just been written to the file.  They are just the file
  offset, and the buffer will not have changed between initializing
  those values and writing it out.
- If we don't print the values at those offsets, then there's no
  need to fill them in at all when we're in test mode.
- Now we only use the write buffer if we're not in test mode,
  so we can skip the allocation.
