mm: split out a writeout helper from pageout

Patch series "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout",
v3.

This series was intended to remove the last remaining users of
AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE after my other pending patches removed the rest,
but spectacularly failed at that.

But instead it nicely improves the code, and removes two pointers from
struct writeback_control.


This patch (of 6):

Move the code to write back swap / shmem folios into a self-contained
helper to keep prepare for refactoring it.
