ext4: Mark pages with journalled data dirty
Currently pages with journalled data written by write(2) or modified by block zeroing during truncate(2) are not marked as dirty. They are dirtied only once the transaction commits. This however makes writeback code think inode has no pages to write and so ext4_writepages() is not called to make pages with journalled data persistent. Mark pages with journalled data dirty (similarly as it happens for writes through mmap) so that writeback code knows about them and ext4_writepages() can do what it needs to to the inode.
