logfs: create a pagecache page if it is not present
While writing the partial journal entries we assumed that the page
associated with the journal would always in locatable. This incorrect
assumption resulted in the following BUG
kernel BUG at /home/benixon/WD_SMR/kernels/linux-3.3.7-logfs/fs/logfs/journal.c:569!
EIP is at logfs_write_area+0xb6/0x109 [logfs]

The fix is to create the pagecache page if it is not locatable.
