From: Suparna Bhattacharya

Implements async support for wait_on_page_writeback_range.
Accepts a wait queue entry as an additional parameter,
invokes the async version wait_on_page_writeback and takes care
of propagating how much of writeback in the range completed so
far (in terms of number of pages), on an -EIOCBRETRY, so that
subqueuent retries can accordingly check/wait only on the
remaining part of the range.
