Dave Chinner e10de3723c xfs: don't chain ioends during writepage submission 
Currently we can build a long ioend chain during ->writepages that
gets attached to the writepage context. IO submission only then
occurs when we finish all the writepage processing. This means we
can have many ioends allocated and pending, and this violates the
mempool guarantees that we need to give about forwards progress.
i.e. we really should only have one ioend being built at a time,
otherwise we may drain the mempool trying to allocate a new ioend
and that blocks submission, completion and freeing of ioends that
are already in progress.

To prevent this situation from happening, we need to submit ioends
for IO as soon as they are ready for dispatch rather than queuing
them for later submission. This means the ioends have bios built
immediately and they get queued on any plug that is current active.
Hence if we schedule away from writeback, the ioends that have been
built will make forwards progress due to the plug flushing on
context switch. This will also prevent context switches from
creating unnecessary IO submission latency.

We can't completely avoid having nested IO allocation - when we have
a block size smaller than a page size, we still need to hold the
ioend submission until after we have marked the current page dirty.
Hence we may need multiple ioends to be held while the current page
is completely mapped and made ready for IO dispatch. We cannot avoid
this problem - the current code already has this ioend chaining
within a page so we can mostly ignore that it occurs.
