... huh. I thought block_write_end() had to have the same prototype as
->write_end because it was used by some filesystems as the ->write_end.
I see that's not true (any more?). Maybe I was confused with
generic_write_end(). Anyway, block_write_end() doesn't use it's file
argument, and never will, so we can just remove it.

Should we make this a 'const struct kiocb *'? I don't see a need for
filesystems to be allowed to modify the kiocb in future, but perhaps
other people have different opinions.
