Sorry for the trouble. At least I (sort of) documented the change in the commit
description, so I hope it wasn't too hard to reverse engineer...
Fixing the checkpatch error I just kind of felt obligated to do, changing
get_undo_access to get_write_access in this patch was just me being lazy.

Thanks. FYI, in one of the snapshot patches this get_write_access instance is
replaced with get_bitmap_access (which calls a different snapshot hook).
That patch also removes the get_undo_access function, but now you beat
me to it :-)

FYI2, the snapshot patches are waiting in my outbox for me to push send.
When running xfstests I caught a hang in test 225 with 1K blocksize
(all other tests were fine),
so I asked Yongqiang to take a look at it because his patch (6d9c85) had fixed
a problem in test 225. He just said that the hang was caused by a bug
in his patch
and that the hang happen with tytso/master branch and that he is
working on a fix,
so I may just go a head and send out the snapshot patches anyway.
