b9b1f8d593 AFS: write support fixes
AFS write support fixes:

 (1) Support large files using the 64-bit file access operations if available
     on the server.

 (2) Use kmap_atomic() rather than kmap() in afs_prepare_page().

 (3) Don't do stuff in afs_writepage() that's done by the caller.

31143d5d51 AFS: implement basic file write support
Implement support for writing to regular AFS files, including:

 (1) write

 (2) truncate

 (3) fsync, fdatasync

 (4) chmod, chown, chgrp, utime.

AFS writeback attempts to batch writes into as chunks as large as it can manage
up to the point that it writes back 65535 pages in one chunk or it meets a
locked page.

Furthermore, if a page has been written to using a particular key, then should
another write to that page use some other key, the first write will be flushed
before the second is allowed to take place.  If the first write fails due to a
security error, then the page will be scrapped and reread before the second
write takes place.

If a page is dirty and the callback on it is broken by the server, then the
dirty data is not discarded (same behaviour as NFS).

Shared-writable mappings are not supported by this patch.
