Subject: [PATCH 08/19] writeback: Factor folio_prepare_writeback() out of write_cache_pages()

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org>

Reduce write_cache_pages() by about 30 lines; much of it is commentary,
but it all bundles nicely into an obvious function.

[hch: rename should_writeback_folio to folio_prepare_writeback based on
