From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

When a block device is accessed via read/write, it is possible for some of
the buffers on a page to be mapped and others not.  __getblk and friends
assume this can't happen, and can end up looping forever when pages have
some unmapped buffers.  Picture:

lseek(/dev/xxx, 2048, SEEK_SET)
write(/dev/xxx, 2048 bytes)

Assuming the block size is 1k, page 0 has 4 buffers, two are mapped by
__block_prepare_write and two are not.  Next, another process triggers
getblk(/dev/xxx, blocknr = 0);

__getblk_slow will loop forever.  __find_get_block fails because the buffer
isn't mapped.  grow_dev_page does nothing because there are buffers on the
page with the correct size.  madhav@veritas.com and others at Veritas
tracked this down.

The fix below has two parts.  First, it changes __find_get_block to avoid
the buffer_error warnings when it finds unmapped buffers on the page.  

Second, it changes grow_dev_page to map the buffers on the page by calling
init_page_buffers.  init_page_buffers is changed so we don't stomp on
uptodate bits for the buffers.
