Add support for writeback of journalled data directly into ext4_writepages() instead of offloading it to write_cache_pages(). This actually significantly simplifies the code and reduces code duplication. For checkpointing of committed data we can use ext4_writepages() rightaway the same way as writeback of ordered data uses it on transaction commit. For journalling of dirty mapped pages, we need to add a special case to mpage_prepare_extent_to_map() to add all page buffers to the journal.

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.
