Make buffer heads point to mapping_metadata_bhs instead of struct
address_space. This makes the code more self contained. For the (only)
case of IO error handling where we really need to reach struct
address_space add a pointer to the mapping from mapping_metadata_bhs.

There are only a few filesystems that use generic tracking of inode
metadata buffer heads. As such the logic to reclaim tracked metadata
buffer heads in inode_lru_isolate() doesn't bring a benefit big enough
to justify intertwining of inode reclaim and metadata buffer head
tracking. Just treat tracked metadata buffer heads as any other metadata
filesystem has to properly clean up on inode eviction and stop handling
it in inode_lru_isolate(). As a result filesystems using generic
tracking of metadata buffer heads may now see dirty metadata buffers in
their .evict methods more often which can slow down inode reclaim but
given these filesystems aren't used in performance demanding setups we
should be fine.

Patch series "Clean up the writeback paths".
Most of these patches verge on the trivial, converting filesystems that
just use block_write_full_page() to use mpage_writepages(). But as we saw
with Christoph's earlier patchset, there can be some "interesting"
gotchas, and I clearly haven't tested the majority of filesystems I've
touched here.
Patches 3 & 4 get rid of a lot of stack usage on architectures with larger
page sizes; 1024 bytes on 64-bit systems with 64KiB pages. It starts to
open the door to larger folio sizes on all architectures, but it's
certainly not enough yet.
Patch 14 is kind of trivial, but it's nice to get that simplification in.
This patch (of 14):
This function has been unused since the removal of bdev_write_page().

Patch series "Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition", v2.
Pankaj recently added folio_create_empty_buffers() as the folio equivalent
to create_empty_buffers(). This patch set finishes the conversion by
first converting all remaining filesystems to call
folio_create_empty_buffers(), then renaming it back to
create_empty_buffers(). I took the opportunity to make a few
simplifications like making folio_create_empty_buffers() return the head
buffer and extracting get_nth_bh() from nilfs2.
A few of the patches in this series aren't directly related to
create_empty_buffers(), but I saw them while I was working on this and
thought they'd be easy enough to add to this series. Compile-tested only,
other than ext4.

By using page_size(), we support both b_page being set to the head page
(as page_size() will return the size of the entire folio) and the precise
page (as it will return PAGE_SIZE for a tail page).

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path

ext2/dax: Fix ext2_setsize when len is page aligned
Some of the higher layers like iomap takes inode_lock() when calling
generic_write_sync().
Also writeback already happens from other paths without inode lock,
so it's difficult to say that we really need sync_mapping_buffers() to
take any inode locking here. Having said that, let's add
generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() implementation in buffer.c with no
inode_lock/unlock() for now so that filesystems like ext2 and
ext4's nojournal mode can use it.
Ext4 when got converted to iomap for direct-io already copied it's own
variant of __generic_file_fsync() without lock.
This patch adds generic_buffers_fsync()
& generic_buffers_fsync_noflush() implementations for use in filesystems
like ext2 & ext4 respectively.
Later we can review other filesystems as well to see if we can make
generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() which does not take any inode_lock() as
the default path.
