consolidate generic_writepages and mpage_writepages
Clean up massive code duplication between mpage_writepages() and
generic_writepages().
The new generic function, write_cache_pages() takes a function pointer
argument, which will be called for each page to be written.
Maybe cifs_writepages() too can use this infrastructure, but I'm not
touching that with a ten-foot pole.
The upcoming page writeback support in fuse will also want this.
