Subject: [PATCH 5/5 v6] ext4: fix partial page writes
While running extended fsx tests to verify the preceeding patches,
a similar bug was also found in the write operation
When ever a write operation begins or ends in a hole,
or extends EOF, the partial page contained in the hole
or beyond EOF needs to be zeroed out.
To correct this the new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock
routine is used to zero out the partial page, but only for buffer
heads that are already unmapped.
