ext4: Make ext4_bio_writepage() handle unprepared buffers
So far ext4_bio_writepage() unconditionally cleared dirty bit on all
buffers underlying the page. That implicitely assumes we can write all
buffers. So far that is true because callers call into
ext4_bio_writepage() make sure all buffers in the page are mapped but:
a) it's a data corruption bug waiting to happen
b) in data=ordered mode when blocksize < pagesize we do need to write
pages that may have only some of dirty buffers mapped.
So change ext4_bio_writepage() to skip buffers that cannot be written without
clearing their dirty bit.
