Christoph Hellwig f3e90c1ca9 btrfs: remove extent writepage address space operation 
Same as in commit 21b4ee7029 ("xfs: drop ->writepage completely"): we
can remove the callback as it's only used in one place - single page
writeback from memory reclaim and is not called for cgroup writeback at
all.

We only allow such writeback from kswapd, not from direct memory
reclaim, and so it is rarely used. When it comes from kswapd, it is
effectively random dirty page shoot-down, which is horrible for IO
patterns. We can rely on background writeback to clean all dirty pages
in an efficient way and not let it be interrupted by kswapd.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
