We need to call sb_start_pagefault() if we're going to make a modification
to the filesystem. Admittedly, we don't know if we're going to make a
modification at this point, but if we're taking a write fault on a hole,
we will be. We can skip the call to sb_start_pagefault() if we're taking
a read fault.

They were different at one time ... agreed, I can just make them an alias
for now.
