[PATCH] xfs: do not discard page cache data on EAGAIN

If xfs_map_blocks returns EAGAIN because of lock contention we must redirty
the page and not disard the pagecache content and return an error from
writepage.  We used to do this correctly, but the logic got lost during
the recent reshuffle of the writepage code.
