Subject: new aop block_write_begin fix
From: Dmitriy Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxx>
After we enter to block_write_begin with *pagep == NULL and some page was
grabed we remember this page in *pagep And if __block_prepare_write() we
have to clear *pagep , as it was before. Because this may confuse caller.
for example caller may have folowing code:
ret = block_write_begin(..., pagep,...)
if (ret && *pagep != NULL) {
unlock_page(*pagep);
page_cache_release(*pagep);
}
