The comes from patch of the larger GEM refactoring patches. [1] 
fb_deferred_io_page_mkwrite() is later supposed to be exported for use 
with DRM.

The patch isn't strictly necessary, but it doesn't do any harm either. I 
added it to the patchset, so that I don't have to deal with potential 
bit rot later on.

Best regards
