Subject: [PATCH] ext4: defragmentation code cleanup

- grab_cache_page_write_begin() may not wait on page's writeback since
  (1d1d1a767206). But it is still reasonable to wait on page's writeback
  here in order to be on the safe side.

- Fix miss typo: pass 'length' instead of 'end' to __block_write_begin()
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56241

TESTCASE: git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/cmds/xfstests.git
MKFS_OPTIONS="-b1024" ; ./check ext4/304
