[PATCH 2/3] fs: block_page_mkwrite should wait for writeback to finish

[Darrick J. Wong]

For filesystems such as nilfs2 and xfs that use block_page_mkwrite, modify that
function to wait for pending writeback before allowing the page to become
writable.  This is needed to stabilize pages during writeback for those two
filesystems.
