Btw, something a lot more productive in this area would be to figure out
how we could convert all these copy and paste versions of
write_cache_pages to use common code. This might need changes to the
common code, but the amount of duplicate and poorly maintained versions
of this loop is a bit alarming:

- btree_write_cache_pages
- extent_write_cache_pages
- f2fs_write_cache_pages
- gfs2_write_cache_jdata
