This really screams for a proper wait_on_page_writeback_killable helper
rather than hardcoding the PG_* bit in a random file system. It also
seems to have missed the conversion to a while loop in
wait_on_page_writeback.

Also this patch seems to be different in style to other by not for now
always using page wrappers in the file systems. Not that I really care
either way, but it seems inconsistent with the rest.

Well, the above code obviously ignored this comment :( Maybe an
__ prefix is a bit more of hint?
