[RFC][PATCH] ext4: Use page_mkwrite vma_operations to get mmap write notification.

We would like to get notified when we are doing a write on mmap section.
This is needed with respect to preallocated area. We split the preallocated
area into initialzed extent and uninitialzed extent in the call back. This
let us handle ENOSPC better. Otherwise we get ENOSPC in the writepage and
that would result in data loss. The changes are also needed to handle ENOSPC
when writing to an mmap section of files with holes.
