Aneesh Kumar K.V f0e6c98593 ext4: Handle page without buffers in ext4_*_writepage() 
It can happen that buffers are removed from the page before it gets
marked dirty and then is passed to writepage().  In writepage() we just
initialize the buffers and check whether they are mapped and non
delay. If they are mapped and non delay we write the page. Otherwise we
mark them dirty.  With this change we don't do block allocation at all
in ext4_*_write_page.

writepage() can get called under many condition and with a locking order
of journal_start -> lock_page, we should not try to allocate blocks in
writepage() which get called after taking page lock.  writepage() can
get called via shrink_page_list even with a journal handle which was
created for doing inode update.  For example when doing
ext4_da_write_begin we create a journal handle with credit 1 expecting a
i_disksize update for the inode. But ext4_da_write_begin can cause
shrink_page_list via _grab_page_cache. So having a valid handle via
ext4_journal_current_handle is not a guarantee that we can use the
handle for block allocation in writepage, since we shouldn't be using
credits that had been reserved for other updates.  That it could result
in we running out of credits when we update inodes.
