GFS2: Use filemap_fdatawrite() to write back the AIL

Browse Source 
In order to ensure that the mapping stats (and thus the bdi) are correctly
updated, this patch changes the AIL writeback to use the filemap_datawrite
function. This helps prevent stalls in balance_dirty_pages() due to
large amounts of dirty metadata when there is little or no dirty data
around.
