fs: introduce iomap infrastructure Add infrastructure for multipage buffered writes. This is implemented using an main iterator that applies an actor function to a range that can be written. This infrastucture is used to implement a buffered write helper, one to zero file ranges and one to implement the ->page_mkwrite VM operations. All of them borrow a fair amount of code from fs/buffers. for now by using an internal version of __block_write_begin that gets passed an iomap and builds the corresponding buffer head. The file system is gets a set of paired ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end calls which allow it to map/reserve a range and get a notification once the write code is finished with it.
