afs: Stop implementing ->writepage()
We're trying to get rid of the ->writepage() hook[1]. Stop afs from using it by unlocking the page and calling afs_writepages_region() rather than folio_write_one(). A flag is passed to afs_writepages_region() to indicate that it should only write a single region so that we don't flush the entire file in ->write_begin(), but do add other dirty data to the region being written to try and reduce the number of RPC ops. This requires ->migrate_folio() to be implemented, so point that at filemap_migrate_folio() for files and also for symlinks and directories. This can be tested by turning on the afs_folio_dirty tracepoint and then doing something like: xfs_io -c "w 2223 7000" -c "w 15000 22222" -c "w 23 7" /afs/my/test/foo and then looking in the trace to see if the write at position 15000 gets stored before page 0 gets dirtied for the write at position 23.
