Please don't change the prototoype for block_write_begin and thus
cause churn for all these legacy file systems.  Add a new
block_write_begin_iocb, and use that in the block code and to implement
block_write_begin.

And avoid the overly long line there to keep the code readable.

Note that you also need to cover the !CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD case.
