ext4: stop providing .writepage hook
Now we don't need .writepage hook for anything anymore. Reclaim is fine with relying on .writepages to clean pages and we often couldn't do much from the .writepage callback anyway. We only need to provide .migrate_folio callback for the ext4_journalled_aops - let's use buffer_migrate_page_norefs() there so that buffers cannot be modified under jdb2's hands as that can cause data corruption. For example when commit code does writeout of transaction buffers in jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer(), we don't hold page lock or have page writeback bit set or have the buffer locked. So page migration code would go and happily migrate the page elsewhere while the copy is running thus corrupting data.
