GFS2: Optimise writepage for metadata
This adds a GFS2 specific writepage for metadata, rather than continuing to use the VFS function. As a result we now tag all our metadata I/O with the correct flag so that blktraces will now be less confusing. Also, the generic function was checking for a number of corner cases which cannot happen on the metadata address spaces so that this should be faster too.
