[PATCH] md: Change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocks-fix

Fix problems with new bmap based access to bitmap files.

1/ When not using a file based bitmap, attach a NULL list of buffers
   to each page so the common free_buffer routine can cope.
2/ Use submit_bh to read as well as write, rather than vfs_read.
   This makes read and write more symetric.
3/ sync the file before reading, to ensure that the page cache has no
   dirty pages that might get written out later.
