[PATCH] cont_prepare_write() fix

When cont_prepare_write() is padding out the "hole" with zeroed pages it
doesn't increase i_size at the same time.  If writeback comes in during the
execution of cont_prepare_write(), block_write_full_page() will think that
these pages are outside i_size and will just clean the page without writing
it.

Fix that up by using generic_commit_write(), which will advance i_size for
each page as it is dirtied.
