Unfortunately, ocfs2 can no longer make use of generic_file_aio_write_nlock()
because allocating writes will require zeroing of pages adjacent to the I/O
for cluster sizes greater than page size.
Implement a custom file write here, which can order page locks for zeroing.
This also has the advantage that cluster locks can easily be ordered outside
of the page locks.

The code in extent_map.c is not prepared to deal with a subtree being
rotated between lookups. This can happen when filling holes in sparse files.
Instead of a lengthy patch to update the code (which would likely lose the
benefit of caching subtree roots), we remove most of the algorithms and
implement a simple path based lookup. A less ambitious extent caching scheme
will be added in a later patch.
