[PATCH 5.15 51/76] fs: create kiocb_{start,end}_write() helpers

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>

Commit ed0360bbab72b829437b67ebb2f9cfac19f59dfe upstream.

aio, io_uring, cachefiles and overlayfs, all open code an ugly variant
of file_{start,end}_write() to silence lockdep warnings.

Create helpers for this lockdep dance so we can use the helpers in all
the callers.
