ext4: defer clearing of PageWriteback after extent conversion 



Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called
from ext4_end_bio().  This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is
not fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as
written) so we cannot read the data back yet.  This design was
dictated by lock ordering as we cannot start a transaction while
PageWriteback bit is set (we could easily deadlock with
ext4_da_writepages()).  But now that we use transaction reservation
for extent conversion, locking issues are solved and we can move
PageWriteback bit clearing after extent conversion is done.  As a
result we can remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from
ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happens through
wait_on_page_writeback().

We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed
bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is
going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.
