[ Upstream commit 1267a07be5ebbff2d2739290f3d043ae137c15b4 ]
Direct writes to empty inodes fail with EIO. The generic direct-io code is in part to blame (a patch has been submitted as "direct-io: allow direct writes to empty inodes"), but hfs is worse affected than the other filesystems because the fallback to buffered I/O doesn't happen.
The problem is the return value of hfs_get_block() when called with !create. Change it to be more consistent with the other modules.
