xfs: Introduce writeback context for writepages

xfs_vm_writepages() calls generic_writepages to writeback a range of
a file, but then xfs_vm_writepage() clusters pages itself as it does
not have any context it can pass between->writepage calls from
__write_cache_pages().

Introduce a writeback context for xfs_vm_writepages() and call
__write_cache_pages directly with our own writepage callback so that
we can pass that context to each writepage invocation. This
encapsulates the current mapping, whether it is valid or not, the
current ioend and it's IO type and the ioend chain being built.

This requires us to move the ioend submission up to the level where
the writepage context is declared. This does mean we do not submit
IO until we packaged the entire writeback range, but with the block
plugging in the writepages call this is the way IO is submitted,
anyway.

It also means that we need to handle discontiguous page ranges.  If
the pages sent down by write_cache_pages to the writepage callback
are discontiguous, we need to detect this and put each discontiguous
page range into individual ioends. This is needed to ensure that the
ioend accurately represents the range of the file that it covers so
that file size updates during IO completion set the size correctly.
Failure to take into account the discontiguous ranges results in
files being too small when writeback patterns are non-sequential.
