ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scanned

Browse Source 
As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
periodic flush.

As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
writeout.  If we keep track of the next page after the
current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.

Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
can mess up the progress of periodic flush.
