Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] Factor clean_buffers() out of __mpage_writepage()

__mpage_writepage() is over 200 lines long, has 20 local variables,
four goto labels and could desperately use simplification.  Splitting
clean_buffers() into a helper function improves matters a little,
removing 20+ lines from it.
