Sent V2 with above comment, first three patches are from
different code path and they are doing unrelated changes:-

1. WRITE :- copy_to_nullb() only use memcpy_page().
2. READ :- copy_from_nullb() only use memcapy_page() and zero_user().
3. I guess zoned read beyond write pointer null_fill_pattern()
    memset_page().

if anything goes wrong in any of 3 code paths we will have to
entire change which we shouldn't, that's why kept it separate,
I'm fine with whatever you decide ...
