vfs: Export __generic_file_aio_write() and add some comments

Browse Source 
Rename __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() to __generic_file_aio_write(), add
comments to write helpers explaining how they should be used and export
__generic_file_aio_write() since it will be used by some filesystems.

*
* This function does all the work needed for actually writing data to a
* file. It does all basic checks, removes SUID from the file, updates
* modification times and calls proper subroutines depending on whether we
* do direct IO or a standard buffered write.
*
* It expects i_mutex to be grabbed unless we work on a block device or similar
* object which does not need locking at all.
*
* This function does *not* take care of syncing data in case of O_SYNC write.
* A caller has to handle it. This is mainly due to the fact that we want to
* avoid syncing under i_mutex.
