Use the new folio_queue structures to simplify the writeback code. The problem with referring to the i_pages xarray directly is that we may have gaps in the sequence of folios we're writing from that we need to skip when we're removing the writeback mark from the folios we're writing back from. At the moment the code tries to deal with this by carefully tracking the gaps in each writeback stream (eg. write to server and write to cache) and divining when there's a gap that spans folios (something that's not helped by folios not being a consistent size). Instead, the folio_queue buffer contains pointers only the folios we're dealing with, has them in ascending order and indicates a gap by placing non-consequitive folios next to each other. This makes it possible to track where we need to clean up to by just keeping track of where we've processed to on each stream and taking the minimum. Note that the I/O iterator is always rounded up to the end of the folio, even if that is beyond the EOF position, so that the cache can do DIO from the page. The excess space is cleared, though mmapped writes clobber it.
