The callers of vfs_iter_write() are required to hold file_start_write(). file_start_write() is a no-op for the S_ISBLK() case, but it is really needed when the backing file is a regular file.

We are going to move file_{start,end}_write() into vfs_iter_write(), but we need to fix this first, so that the fix could be backported to stable kernels.
