vfs: add hooks for ext4's delayed allocation support From: Alex Tomas Export mpage_bio_submit() and __mpage_writepage() for the benefit of ext4's delayed allocation support. Also change __block_write_full_page so that if buffers that have the BH_Delay flag set it will call get_block() to get the physical block allocated, just as in the !BH_Mapped case.
