writeback: only update ->writeback_index for range_cyclic writeback

Browse source

mapping->writeback_index is only [1] used as the starting point for
range_cyclic writeback, so there is no point in updating it for other
types of writeback.

[1] except for btrfs_defrag_file which does really odd things with
mapping->writeback_index.  But btrfs doesn't use write_cache_pages at all,
so this isn't relevant here.
