I have a patch for that, sent to linux-ext4 last week. I will merge it
to the parent patch and update in ext4 patch queue.

ext4: use write_begin/write_end in delalloc instead of prepare_write()
From: Mingming Cao <cmm@...ibm.com>

Since generally the current mainline VFS API changed to use write-begin()
and write_end(), updating ext4 delayed allocation to adopt this change.
