[PATCH 2/2] fs: use simple_prepare_write to zero page data

[Nate Diller <nate.diller@gmail.com>]

It's common for file systems to need to zero data on either side of a write,
if a page is not Uptodate during prepare_write.  It just so happens that
simple_prepare_write() in libfs.c does exactly that, so we can avoid
duplication and just call that function to zero page data.

Compile tested on x86_64.
