A hole in our logic meant we were not cleaning dirty state on some
pages, end result was we wrote them twice - xfs was half the speed
of ext2 on streaming writes. With this change we are disk bound
again and back to ext2 speed. This is a 2.5 only change.

        - When we start I/O on a page, clean it, we need to do this ourselves
          since we have a writepage call which writes more than one page out.
          Also skip pages which are already being writeback processed somewhere.
