[PATCH 05/11] pagevec: Add ability to iterate a queue

[Christoph Hellwig]

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a loop counter inside the folio_batch to let us iterate from 0-nr
instead of decrementing nr and treating the batch as a stack.  It would
generate some very weird and suboptimal I/O patterns for page writeback
to iterate over the batch as a stack.
