[patch?] RAMFS

[Mike Galbraith]

Hi,

With the patch below, ramfs will withstand make -j20 (binutils)
even while an iozone is running, and cp /dev/zero zero.  These
fail as is.  The problem seems to be in the way writepage() is
called.. ClearPageDirty(); writepage().  That screws up ramfs's
beancounting and makes it wipe pages and do double accounting.
(df;cp /dev/zero zero;rm zero;df to see accounting woes).

Accounting only from ramfs_prepare_write() seems to be enough for
the page limit to function (whodathunkit;)
