[PATCH v2 15/16] fs: create file_write_started() helper

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Convenience wrapper for sb_write_started(file_inode(inode)->i_sb)), which
has a single occurrence in the code right now.

Document the false negatives of those helpers, which makes them unusable
to assert that sb_start_write() is not held.
