Subject: [GIT PULL for v6.16] vfs writepages

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This converts vboxfs from ->writepage() to ->writepages(). This was the last
user of the ->writepage() method. So remove ->writepage() completely and all
references to it.

/* Testing */

gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
Debian clang version 19.1.7 (3)

No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
