ext4: avoid potential hang in mpage_submit_io() when blocksize < pagesize
commit 13a79a4741d37fda2fbafb953f0f301dc007928f upstream. If there is an unwritten but clean buffer in a page and there is a dirty buffer after the buffer, then mpage_submit_io does not write the dirty buffer out. As a result, da_writepages loops forever. This patch fixes the problem by checking dirty flag.
