-ext4: Clear the unwritten buffer_head flag after the extent is initialized
-
-The BH_Unwritten flag indicates that the buffer is allocated on disk
-but has not been written; that is, the disk was part of a persistent
-preallocation area.  That flag should only be set when a get_blocks()
-function is looking up a inode's logical to physical block mapping.
-
-When ext4_get_blocks_wrap() is called with create=1, the uninitialized
-extent is converted into an initialized one, so the BH_Unwritten flag
-is no longer appropriate.  Hence, we need to make sure the
-BH_Unwritten is not left set, since the combination of BH_Mapped and
-BH_Unwritten is not allowed; among other things, it will result ext4's
-get_block() to be called over and over again during the write_begin
-phase of write(2).
