Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ext4: Make sure blocks are properly allocated under mmaped page even when blocksize < pagesize

In a situation like:
  truncate(f, 1024);
  a = mmap(f, 0, 4096);
  a[0] = 'a';
  truncate(f, 4096);

we end up with a dirty page which does not have all blocks allocated /
reserved.  Fix the problem by using new VFS infrastructure.
