ext4: Mark the unwritten buffer_head as mapped during write_begin

Browse source 
Setting BH_Unwritten buffer_heads as BH_Mapped avoids multiple
(unnecessary) calls to get_block() during the call to the write(2)
system call.  Setting BH_Unwritten buffer heads as BH_Mapped requires
that the writepages() functions can handle BH_Unwritten buffer_heads.

After this commit, things work as follows:

ext4_ext_get_block() returns unmapped, unwritten, buffer head when
called with create = 0 for prealloc space. This makes sure we handle
the read path and non-delayed allocation case correctly.  Even though
the buffer head is marked unmapped we have valid b_blocknr and b_bdev
values in the buffer_head.

ext4_da_get_block_prep() called for block resrevation will now return
mapped, unwritten, new buffer_head for prealloc space. This avoids
multiple calls to get_block() for write to same offset. By making such
buffers as BH_New, we also assure that sub-block zeroing of buffered
writes happens correctly.
