[PATCH 08/19] CacheFiles: Add a function to write a single page of data to an inode

[David Howells]

Add a function to write one single whole page of data to an inode at a
page-aligned location (thus permitting the function to be highly optimised).
The function uses the prepare_write() and commit_write() address_space
operations to bound the actual write.

This is used by CacheFiles to store the contents of netfs pages into their
backing file pages.
