Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Silence warning in ext4_writepages()

The loop in mpage_map_and_submit_extent() is guaranteed to always run at
least once since the caller of mpage_map_and_submit_extent() makes sure
map->m_len > 0. So make that explicit using do-while instead of pure
while which also silences the compiler warning about uninitialized 'err'
variable.
