There aren't sufficient sync points for a fs for xip operations. In
particular for the mmap case. It can be not sufficient to lock/unlock
to do some operation inside get_xip_mem callback. For xip_file_read
it's really easy to write a fs specific wrapper, xip_file_write hold
i_mutex so no problem. With this patch it's possible to reuse the
generic xip_file_fault, using a wrapper function in a fs, without to
reinvent the wheel.
As usual please send patches to add exports only while adding callers
for it.
