Add a new mapping flag AS_WRITEBACK_INDETERMINATE which filesystems may
set to indicate that writing back to disk may take an indeterminate
amount of time to complete. Extra caution should be taken when waiting
on writeback for folios belonging to mappings where this flag is set.

Indeterminate is definitely different, ok with me.
