[PATCH] BLOCK: Dissociate generic_writepages() from mpage stuff [try #6]

Dissociate the generic_writepages() function from the mpage stuff, moving its
declaration to linux/mm.h and actually emitting a full implementation into
mm/page-writeback.c.

The implementation is a partial duplicate of mpage_writepages() with all BIO
references removed.

It is used by NFS to do writeback.
