3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1e32134a5a404e80bfb47fad8a94e9bbfcbdacc5 upstream.
If the incoming bio is a WRITE and completely covers a block then we
don't bother to do any copying for a promotion operation. Once this is
done the cache block and origin block will be different, so we need to
set it to 'dirty'.
