Subject: [PATCH 13/19] writeback: Move the folio_prepare_writeback loop out of write_cache_pages()

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

Move the loop for should-we-write-this-folio to writeback_get_folio.

Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@...radead.org>
[hch: folded the loop into the existing helper instead of a separate one
      as suggested by Jan Kara]
