fs: convert core functions to zero_user_page
It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset(). There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.
This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones. Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call. The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.
