[patch 1/18] small fixes in buffer.c

- Fix the fix to the fix to the sector_t printing in buffer_io_error()

- A few microoptimisations in buffer.c. Replace:

set_buffer_foo(bh);

with

if (!buffer_foo(bh))
set_buffer_foo(bh);

when buffer_fooness is likely. To avoid the buslocked rmw, and to
avoid dirtying a cacheline.

- export write_mapping_buffers() - filesystems which put buffers on
mapping->private_list need this function for I/O scheduling reasons.
