mm: do not start/end writeback for pages stored in zswap
Most of the work done in folio_start_writeback is reversed in folio_end_writeback. For e.g. NR_WRITEBACK and NR_ZONE_WRITE_PENDING are incremented in start_writeback and decremented in end_writeback. Calling end_writeback immediately after start_writeback (separated by folio_unlock) cancels the affect of most of the work done in start hence can be removed. There is some extra work done in folio_end_writeback, however it is incorrect/not applicable to zswap: - folio_end_writeback incorrectly increments NR_WRITTEN counter, eventhough the pages aren't written to disk, hence this change corrects this behaviour. - folio_end_writeback calls folio_rotate_reclaimable, but that only makes sense for async writeback pages, while for zswap pages are synchronously reclaimed.
