Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] ext4: Use ext4_get_block_write() for DAX

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@...ux.intel.com>

DAX relies on the get_block function either zeroing newly allocated blocks
before they're findable by subsequent calls to get_block, or marking newly
allocated blocks as unwritten.  ext4_get_block() cannot create unwritten
extents, but ext4_get_block_write() can.
