[PATCH 02/27] netfs: Fix a few minor bugs in netfs_page_mkwrite()

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy at infradead.org>

We can't return with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS | VM_FAULT_LOCKED; the core
code will not unlock the folio in this instance.  Introduce a new
"unlock" error exit to handle this case.  Use it to handle
the "folio is truncated" check, and change the "writeback interrupted
by a fatal signal" to do a NOPAGE exit instead of letting the core
code install the folio currently under writeback before killing the
process.
