writeback: simplify the loops in write_cache_pages()

Collapse the two nested loops into one.  This is needed as a step towards
turning this into an iterator.

Note that this drops the "index <= end" check in the previous outer loop
and just relies on filemap_get_folios_tag() to return 0 entries when index
> end.  This actually has a subtle implication when end == -1 because then
the returned index will be -1 as well and thus if there is page present on
index -1, we could be looping indefinitely.  But as the comment in
filemap_get_folios_tag documents this as already broken anyway we should
not worry about it here either.  The fix for that would probably a change
to the filemap_get_folios_tag() calling convention.
