Subject: [git pull] vfs.git pile 12 - work.read_write bugfix

file_start_write()/file_end_write() got mixed into vfs_iter_write() by

do that, some - quite a bit outside.  Easily fixed, fortunately

The following changes since commit a4058c5bce8aded1a12a59990e84e481a96fb490:

  nfsd: remove nfsd_vfs_read (2017-06-29 17:49:24 -0400)
