Subject: [PATCH 02/17] writeback: also update wbc->nr_to_write on writeback failure

When exiting write_cache_pages early due to a non-integrity write
failure, wbc->nr_to_write currently doesn't account for the folio
we just failed to write.  This doesn't matter because the callers
always ingore the value on a failure, but moving the update to
common code will allow to simplify the code, so do it.
