In vfs code, sb_start_write() is usually called after the permission hook
in rw_verify_area(). vfs_iocb_iter_write() is an exception to this rule,
where kiocb_start_write() is called by its callers.
Move kiocb_start_write() from the callers into vfs_iocb_iter_write()
after the rw_verify_area() checks, to make them "start-write-safe".
This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.
