Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 807d1fe360 writeback: simplify the loops in write_cache_pages()
Collapse the two nested loops into one.  This is needed as a step towards
turning this into an iterator.

Note that this drops the "index <= end" check in the previous outer loop
and just relies on filemap_get_folios_tag() to return 0 entries when index
> end.  This actually has a subtle implication when end == -1 because then
the returned index will be -1 as well and thus if there is page present on
index -1, we could be looping indefinitely.  But as the comment in
filemap_get_folios_tag documents this as already broken anyway we should
not worry about it here either.  The fix for that would probably a change
to the filemap_get_folios_tag() calling convention.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
