Christoph Hellwig cdc150b575 writeback: add a writeback iterator
Refactor the code left in write_cache_pages into an iterator that the file
system can call to get the next folio for a writeback operation:

	struct folio *folio = NULL;

	while ((folio = writeback_iter(mapping, wbc, folio, &error))) {
		error = <do per-folio writeback>;
	}

The twist here is that the error value is passed by reference, so that the
iterator can restore it when breaking out of the loop.

Handling of the magic AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE value stays outside the
iterator and needs is just kept in the write_cache_pages legacy wrapper. 
in preparation for eventually killing it off.

Heavily based on a for_each* based iterator from Matthew Wilcox.
