From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@xxxxxxxx>
Find out if the write will trigger a wait due to writeback. If yes,
return -EAGAIN.
This introduces a new function filemap_range_has_page() which
returns true if the file's mapping has a page within the range
mentioned.
Return -EINVAL for buffered AIO: there are multiple causes of
delay such as page locks, dirty throttling logic, page loading
from disk etc. which cannot be taken care of.
