When we do delayed allocation of some buffer, we want to signal to VFS that the buffer is new (set buffer_new) so that it properly zeros out everything. But we don't have the buffer mapped yet so we cannot really unmap underlying metadata in this state. Make VFS avoid doing unmapping of metadata when the buffer is not yet mapped.
