ext4: use private version of page_zero_new_buffers() for data=journal mode

commit b90197b6 upstream.

If there is a error while copying data from userspace into the page
cache during a write(2) system call, in data=journal mode, in
ext4_journalled_write_end() were using page_zero_new_buffers() from
fs/buffer.c.  Unfortunately, this sets the buffer dirty flag, which is
no good if journalling is enabled.  This is a long-standing bug that
goes back for years and years in ext3, but a combination of (a)
data=journal not being very common, (b) in many case it only results
in a warning message. and (c) only very rarely causes the kernel hang,
means that we only really noticed this as a problem when commit
998ef75d caused this failure to happen frequently enough to cause
generic/208 to fail when run in data=journal mode.

The fix is to have our own version of this function that doesn't call
mark_dirty_buffer(), since we will end up calling
ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() on the buffer head(s) in questions very
shortly afterwards in ext4_journalled_write_end().

Thanks to Dave Hansen and Linus Torvalds for helping to identify the
root cause of the problem.
