commit effa24f689ce0948f68c754991a445a8d697d3a8 upstream.
extent_write_cache_pages stops writing pages as soon as nr_to_write hits
zero. That is the right thing for opportunistic writeback, but incorrect
for data integrity writeback, which needs to ensure that no dirty pages
are left in the range. Thus only stop the writeback for WB_SYNC_NONE
if nr_to_write hits 0.
This is a port of write_cache_pages changes in commit 05fe478dd04e
("mm: write_cache_pages integrity fix").
Note that I've only trigger the problem with other changes to the btrfs
writeback code, but this condition seems worthwhile fixing anyway.

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.
