[PATCH] Fix page cache limit wrapping in filesystems

Several file systems in tree that nominally support files >2GB set their
s_maxbytes value to ~0ULL. This has the nasty side effect on 32bit machines
that when a file write reaches the page cache limit (e.g. 2^43) it'll silently
wrap and destroy data at the beginning of the file.

This patch changes the file systems in question to fill in a proper limit.

I also have an alternate patch that adds a check for this generically
in super.c, but preliminary comments from Al suggested that he prefered
to do it in the file systems, so it is done this way way.
