Subject: [PATCH v2 0/11] ext4: Stop providing .writepage hook

Now we don't need .writepage hook for anything anymore. Reclaim is fine
with relying on .writepages to clean pages and we often couldn't do much
from the .writepage callback anyway. We only need to provide
.migrate_folio callback for the ext4_journalled_aops - let's use
buffer_migrate_page_norefs() there so that buffers cannot be modified
under jdb2's hands.
