H A Dfile.ca9eb558a Fri Nov 18 01:57:27 CST 2022 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> afs: Stop implementing ->writepage()

We're trying to get rid of the ->writepage() hook[1]. Stop afs from using
it by unlocking the page and calling afs_writepages_region() rather than
folio_write_one().

A flag is passed to afs_writepages_region() to indicate that it should only
write a single region so that we don't flush the entire file in
->write_begin(), but do add other dirty data to the region being written to
try and reduce the number of RPC ops.

This requires ->migrate_folio() to be implemented, so point that at
filemap_migrate_folio() for files and also for symlinks and directories.

This can be tested by turning on the afs_folio_dirty tracepoint and then
doing something like:

xfs_io -c "w 2223 7000" -c "w 15000 22222" -c "w 23 7" /afs/my/test/foo

and then looking in the trace to see if the write at position 15000 gets
stored before page 0 gets dirtied for the write at position 23.
