[ Upstream commit 26ecf243e407be54807ad67210f7e83b9fad71ea ]

write_one_page is an awkward interface that expects the page locked and
->writepage to be implemented. Replace that by zeroing the signature
bytes and synchronize the block device page using the proper bdev
helpers.

Please drop this patch and "btrfs: factor out scratching of one regular
super block" from all stable queues. It's not a fix, only preparatory
work to allow removing write_one_page from MM code.

Commit ids: 0e0078f72be81bbb and 26ecf243e407be54

Ack, dropped.
