Instead of having a 'done' variable that controls the nested loops,
have a writeback_finish() that can be returned directly.  This involves
keeping more things in writeback_control, but it's just moving stuff
allocated on the stack to being allocated slightly earlier on the stack.

Do we really need the range_whole member here? It is trivially derived from
range_start && range_end and used only in one place in writeback_finish().

Also I suspect we can get rid of the 'done' argument here. After all it
just controls whether we cycle back to index 0 which we could just
determine as:

	if (wbc->range_cyclic && !wbc->err && wbc->nr_to_write > 0) {
		WARN_ON_ONCE(wbc->sync_mode != WB_SYNC_NONE);
		wbc->done_index = 0;
	}

Yes, as nothing modified range_start and range_end this should be
easily doable.
