Subject[38/45] ext4: handle EOF correctly in ext4_bio_write_page()
3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Yongqiang Yang <xiaoqiangnk@gmail.com>

commit 5a0dc7365c240795bf190766eba7a27600be3b3e upstream.

We need to zero out part of a page which beyond EOF before setting uptodate,
otherwise, mapread or write will see non-zero data beyond EOF.
