[PATCH] xip: export xip_file_fault

[Marco Stornelli]

From: Marco Stornelli <marco.stornelli@xxxxxxxxx>

There aren't sufficient sync points for a fs for xip operations. In 
particular for the mmap case. It can be not sufficient to lock/unlock 
to do some operation inside get_xip_mem callback. For xip_file_read 
it's really easy to write a fs specific wrapper, xip_file_write hold 
i_mutex so no problem. With this patch it's possible to reuse the
generic xip_file_fault, using a wrapper function in a fs, without to
reinvent the wheel.
