This patch extends the rcu regions, so that lookup followed by a read or write of a page is done inside rcu read lock. This si be needed for the following patch that enables discard. Note that we also replace "BUG_ON(!page);" with "if (page) ..." in copy_to_brd - the page may be NULL if write races with discard. In this situation, the result is undefined, so we can actually skip the write operation at all.
