[PATCH 2/8] xfs: io type needs to be part of the writepage context

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner at redhat.com>

If we don't pass the IO type we are mapping with the writepage
context, then the imap is recalculated on every delalloc page that
is passed to xfs_do_writepage(). This defeats the purpose of having
a cached imap between calls and increases the overhead of delalloc
writeback significantly.

Fix this by moving the io type into the writepage context structure
so that it moves with the cached imap through the stack.
