Currently the writeback code delays submitting fill ioends until we reach the end of the folio. The reason for that is that otherwise the end I/O handler could clear the writeback bit before we've even finished submitting all I/O for the folio. Add a bias to ifs->write_bytes_pending while we are submitting I/O for a folio so that it never reaches zero until all I/O is completed to prevent the early writeback bit clearing, and remove the now superfluous submit_list.

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.
