mm: split out a writeout helper from pageout
Patch series "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout",
v3.
This series was intended to remove the last remaining users of
AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE after my other pending patches removed the rest,
but spectacularly failed at that.
But instead it nicely improves the code, and removes two pointers from
struct writeback_control.
This patch (of 6):
Move the code to write back swap / shmem folios into a self-contained
helper to keep prepare for refactoring it.
