Subject: [PATCH 3/7] fs/buffer: use sleeping version of __find_get_block()

Convert to the new nonatomic flavor to benefit from potential performance
benefits and adapt in the future vs migration such that semantics
are kept.

Convert write_boundary_block() which already takes the buffer
lock as well as bdev_getblk() depending on the respective gpf flags.
There are no changes in semantics.
