writeback: factor writeback_get_batch() out of write_cache_pages()

This simple helper will be the basis of the writeback iterator.  To make
this work, we need to remember the current index and end positions in
writeback_control.

[hch@lst.de: heavily rebased, add helpers to get the tag and end index, don't keep the end index in struct writeback_control]
