After we enter to block_write_begin with *pagep == NULL and
some page was grabed we remember this page in *pagep
And if __block_prepare_write() we have to clear *pagep , as
it was before. Because this may confuse caller.
for example caller may have folowing code:
ret = block_write_begin(..., pagep,...)
if (ret && *pagep != NULL) {
unlock_page(*pagep);
page_cache_release(*pagep);
}
