fs: export variant of generic_write_checks without iov_iter

Encoded I/O in Btrfs needs to check a write with a given logical size
without an iov_iter that matches that size (because the iov_iter we have
is for the compressed data). So, factor out the parts of
generic_write_check() that don't need an iov_iter into a new
generic_write_checks_count() function and export that.
