Please make this common - we dont want a new ioctl for every
filesystem; we want a single common to all filesystems.

Most of this function will be common to all IOC_FIEMAP
implementations.

	struct address_space *mapping = filp->f_mapping;

	if (!mapping->a_ops->fiemap)
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;

This is common

The common form is:

	if (fiemap_s->fm_flags & FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC)
		filemap_write_and_wait(mapping);

Seems common.

This becomes:

	error = mapping->a_ops->fiemap(inode, ....);

and the lock, extent walk, etc becomes ext4_fiemap() which is set up
in the a_ops for the filesystem. Any filesystems specific checks go
there as well.

That's common, too.

I don't want to see this implemented over and over again with minute
variations and bugs. The common implementation should be called from
in do_file_ioctl() like FIBMAP....
