Re: [PATCH 2/7] fs: block_page_mkwrite should wait for writebackto finish

[Darrick J. Wong]

For filesystems such as nilfs2 and xfs that use block_page_mkwrite, modify that
function to wait for pending writeback before allowing the page to become
writable.  This is needed to stabilize pages during writeback for those two
filesystems.

Slight rework based on Jan Kara's suggestion.
