Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fs: Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper passing error values back

Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper which does all what block_page_mkwrite()
does except that it passes back errors from __block_write_begin /
block_commit_write calls. This is needed for some filesystems so that they
can detect errors such as ENOSPC and try harder.
