Subject: [PATCH 09/12] ext4: Dirty page has always buffers attached

ext4_writepage(), write_cache_pages_da(), and mpage_da_submit_io() doesn't
have to deal with the case when page doesn't have buffers. We attach buffers
to a page in ->write_begin() and ->page_mkwrite() which covers all places
where a page can become dirty.
