ext4: Keep pages with journalled data dirty

Browse source

Currently we clear page dirty bit when we checkpoint some buffers from a
page with journalled data or when we perform delayed dirtying of a page
in ext4_writepages(). In a quest to simplify handling of journalled data
we want to keep page dirty as long as it has either buffers to
checkpoint or journalled dirty data. So make sure to keep page dirty in
ext4_writepages() if it still has journalled data attached to it.
