Subject: [PATCH 2/4] GFS2: directly write blocks past i_size

From: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@...hat.com>

GFS2 was relying on the writepage code to write out the zeroed data for
fallocate.  However, with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set, this may be past i_size.
If it is, it will be ignored.  To work around this, gfs2 now calls
write_dirty_buffer directly on the buffer_heads when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
is set, and it's writing past i_size.

This version is just a cleanup of my last version
