Subject: [Patch v2 04/15] CIFS: Add support for direct pages in wdata

From: Long Li <longli@...rosoft.com>

Add a function to allocate wdata without allocating pages for data
transfer. This gives the caller an option to pass a number of pages that
point to the data buffer to write to.

wdata is reponsible for free those pages after it's done.
