Hmm, it seems wired to do commit_write when the page is about becoming
writable, but maybe that's the way it needs to?
Don't we need to update the i_size somewhere?

It seems this combined the three journalling mode prepare_write() code
here:(
Since prepare_write() and commit_write() is going to sunset, why not
simply calling mappings->a_ops->write_begin() and then write_end()? that
should take care of pretty much the journalling and the page operations,
no?
