[PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait)
This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
See mm/filemap.c:
And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error. However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

Andrew Morton writes,
If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>
So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.
Trond, could you please review the nfs part? Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.
