vfs: Move mark_inode_dirty() from under page lock in generic_write_end()

There's no need to call mark_inode_dirty() under page lock in
generic_write_end(). It unnecessarily makes hold time of page lock longer
and more importantly it forces locking order of page lock and transaction
start for journaling filesystems.
