Refactor the code left in write_cache_pages into an iterator that the file
system can call to get the next folio for a writeback operation:
struct folio *folio = NULL;
while ((folio = writeback_iter(mapping, wbc, folio, &error))) {
error = <do per-folio writeback>;
}
The twist here is that the error value is passed by reference, so that the
iterator can restore it when breaking out of the loop.
Handling of the magic AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE value stays outside the
iterator and needs is just kept in the write_cache_pages legacy wrapper.
in preparation for eventually killing it off.
Heavily based on a for_each* based iterator from Matthew Wilcox.

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.
