In ocfs2_page_mkwrite(), since in this case no target page locked, it
will finally return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE (better VM_FAULT_RETRY?) and throw
to handle_mm_fault(). So no problem as comments described.
But things seems changed since append direct io path started to use
write_[begin/end]. In this path, the target page is expected as NULL.
This needs more discussion.
