pagecache_write_begin() and pagecache_write_end() are now trivial
wrappers, so call the aops directly.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "New features for ext4 this cycle include support for encrypted
  casefold, ensure that deleted file names are cleared in directory
  blocks by zeroing directory entries when they are unlinked or moved as
  part of a hash tree node split. We also improve the block allocator's
  performance on a freshly mounted file system by prefetching block
  bitmaps.

  There are also the usual cleanups and bug fixes, including fixing a
  page cache invalidation race when there is mixed buffered and direct
  I/O and the block size is less than page size, and allow the dax flag
  to be set and cleared on inline directories"

For readahead_expand(), we need to modify the file ra_state, so pass it
down by adding it to the ractl.  We have to do this because it's not always
the same as f_ra in the struct file that is already being passed.

<title>ext4: fix error handling in ext4_end_enable_verity()</title>

<id>f053cf7aa66cd9d592b0fc967f4d887c2abff1b7</id>
<content type='text'>
ext4 didn't properly clean up if verity failed to be enabled on a file:

- It left verity metadata (pages past EOF) in the page cache, which
  would be exposed to userspace if the file was later extended.

- It didn't truncate the verity metadata at all (either from cache or
  from disk) if an error occurred while setting the verity bit.

Fix these bugs by adding a call to truncate_inode_pages() and ensuring
that we truncate the verity metadata (both from cache and from disk) in
all error paths.  Also rework the code to cleanly separate the success
path from the error paths, which makes it much easier to understand.

Add a flag ([EXT4|FS]_DAX_FL) to preserve FS_XFLAG_DAX in the ext4
inode.

Set the flag to be user visible and changeable.  Set the flag to be
inherited.  Allow applications to change the flag at any time except if
it conflicts with the set of mutually exclusive flags (Currently VERITY,
ENCRYPT, JOURNAL_DATA).

Furthermore, restrict setting any of the exclusive flags if DAX is set.

While conceptually possible, we do not allow setting EXT4_DAX_FL while
at the same time clearing exclusion flags (or vice versa) for 2 reasons:

	1) The DAX flag does not take effect immediately which
	   introduces quite a bit of complexity
	2) There is no clear use case for being this flexible

Finally, on regular files, flag the inode to not be cached to facilitate
changing S_DAX on the next creation of the inode.
