Rename set_page_writeback() to folio_start_writeback() to match folio_end_writeback(). Do not bother with wrappers that return void; callers are perfectly capable of ignoring return values. Add wrappers for set_page_writeback(), set_page_writeback_keepwrite() and test_set_page_writeback() for compatibililty with existing filesystems. The main advantage of this patch is getting the statistics right, although it does eliminate a couple of calls to compound_head().
