Subject: fuse: fix fuse_write_end() if zero bytes were copied

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit 59c3b76cc61d1d676f965c192cc7969aa5cb2744 upstream.

If pos is at the beginning of a page and copied is zero then page is not
zeroed but is marked uptodate.

Fix by skipping everything except unlock/put of page if zero bytes were
copied.
