[06/14] writeback: rework the loop termination condition in write_cache_pages

Commit Message

Christoph Hellwig Feb. 12, 2024, 7:13 a.m. UTC

Rework the way we deal with the cleanup after the writepage call.

First handle the magic AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE separately from real error
returns to get it out of the way of the actual error handling path.

The split the handling on intgrity vs non-integrity branches first,
and return early using a goto for the non-ingegrity early loop condition
to remove the need for the done and done_index local variables, and for
assigning the error to ret when we can just return error directly.
