Unionfs: mmap fixes to unionfs_writepage
This patch fixes hangs when calling sync(2) on memory-pressured systems.
Call find_lock_page instead of grab_cache_page. We used to call
grab_cache_page(), but that was unnecessary as it would have tried to create
a new lower page if it didn't exist, leading to deadlocks (esp. under
memory-pressure conditions, when it is really a bad idea to *consume* more
memory). Instead, we assume the lower page exists, and if we can find it,
then we ->writepage on it; if we can't find it, then it couldn't have
disappeared unless the kernel already flushed it, in which case we're still
OK. This is especially correct if wbc->sync_mode is WB_SYNC_NONE (as per
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt). If we can't flush our page because we
can't find a lower page, then at least we re-mark our page as dirty, and
return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE as the VFS expects us to. (Note, if in the
future it'd turn out that we have to find a lower page no matter what, then
we'd have to resort to RAIF's page pointer flipping trick.)
