write_begin takes the page lock by itself. That's one of the reasons why
block_page_mkwrite doesn't use plain ->write_begin / write_end, the
other beeing that we already get a page passed to use, so there's no
need to do the pagecache lookup or allocation done by
grab_cache_page_write_begin.
The best thing would be to completely drop ext4's current version
of page_mkwrite and start out with a copy of block_page_mkwrite which
has the journalling calls added back into it.
