block_prepare_write() can dirty freshly created buffer. This is a problem for data=journal mode because data buffers shouldn't be dirty unless they are undergoing checkpoint. So we have to tweak get_block function for data=journal mode to catch the case when block_prepare_write would dirty the buffer, do the work instead of block_prepare_write, and properly handle dirty buffer as data=journal mode requires it. It might be cleaner to avoid using block_prepare_write() for data=journal mode writes but that would require us to duplicate most of the function which isn't nice either...
