ext2, ext4: fix issue with missing journal entry in ext4_dax_mkwrite()
As it is currently written ext4_dax_mkwrite() assumes that the call into __dax_mkwrite() will not have to do a block allocation so it doesn't create a journal entry. For a read that creates a zero page to cover a hole followed by a write that actually allocates storage this is incorrect. The ext4_dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_fault() path calls get_blocks() to allocate storage. Fix this by having the ->page_mkwrite fault handler call ext4_dax_fault() as this function already has all the logic needed to allocate a journal entry and call __dax_fault(). Also update the ext2 fault handlers in this same way to remove duplicate code and keep the logic between ext2 and ext4 the same.
