In the normal case we check if a page is under writeback and skip it
before we attempt to begin writeback.
The exception is subpage metadata writes, where we know we don't have an
eb under writeback and we're doing it one eb at a time. Since
b5612c3686 ("mm: return void from folio_start_writeback() and related
functions") we now will BUG_ON() if we call folio_start_writeback()
on a folio that's already under writeback. Previously
folio_start_writeback() would bail if writeback was already started.
Fix this in the subpage code by checking if we have writeback set and
skipping it if we do. This fixes the panic we were seeing on subpage.

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.
