[PATCH 1/2] filemap: Remove use of wait bookmarks

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

The original problem of the overly long list of waiters on a
locked page was solved properly by commit 9a1ea439b16b ("mm:
put_and_wait_on_page_locked() while page is migrated").  In
the meantime, using bookmarks for the writeback bit can cause
livelocks, so we need to stop using them.
