Add a function to allocate wdata without allocating pages for data
transfer. This gives the caller an option to pass a number of pages that
point to the data buffer to write to.

wdata is reponsible for free those pages after it's done.

Same comment as for the earlier patch. "Caller" is responsible for
"freeing" those pages? Confusing, as worded.

Also same comment as for earlier patch, these are syntactically
equivalent and maybe not needed to change.

Why do you do a GFP_NOFS here but GFP_KERNEL in the earlier patch?

This is for the I/O write path. The earlier patch is for I/O read path. This code preserves the behavior from the buffer I/O code.

The write path is possibly used when memory is under pressure, so it's better not to call FS (and CIFS) that may result in a loop.
