__bio_try_merge_page() may return same_page = 1 and merged = 0. 
This could happen when bio->bi_iter.bi_size + len > UINT_MAX. 
Handle this case in iomap_add_to_ioend() by incrementing write_count.
This scenario mostly happens where we have too much dirty data accumulated. 

w/o the patch we hit below kernel warning,

I think this is better fixed in the block layer rather than working
around the problem in the callers.  Something like this:

diff --git a/block/bio.c b/block/bio.c
index c63ba04bd62967..ef321cd1072e4e 100644
