Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] fs/buffer: introduce __find_get_block_nonatomic()

From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@...olabs.net>

Callers that do not require atomic context for pagecache
lookups can use this flavor to avoid the unnencesary
contention on the blockdev mapping i_private_lock as well
as waiting on noref migration.

Convert local caller write_boundary_block() which already
takes the buffer lock as well as bdev_getblk() depending
on the respective gpf flags. Either way there are no
currently changes in semantics.
