Eventually we need to completely reorganize the ext4 writepage
callpath, but for now, we simplify things a little by calling
mpage_da_submit_io() from mpage_da_map_blocks(), since all of the
places where we call mpage_da_map_blocks() it is followed up by a call
to mpage_da_submit_io().

We're also a wee bit better with respect to error handling, but there
are still a number of issues where it's not clear what the right thing
is to do with ext4 functions deep in the writeback codepath fails.
