FYI, XFS would blow up unless either ->write_begin or ->page_mkwrite
were called before dirtying a page.  We do an assert that the page has
buffers as the first thing in writepage, and those are the only
two places that should create buffers.

So either no one is using CMA with XFS, or there is another weird
interaction involved.
