mm: do not start/end writeback for pages stored in zswap

Most of the work done in folio_start_writeback is reversed in
folio_end_writeback.  For e.g.  NR_WRITEBACK and NR_ZONE_WRITE_PENDING are
incremented in start_writeback and decremented in end_writeback.  Calling
end_writeback immediately after start_writeback (separated by
folio_unlock) cancels the affect of most of the work done in start hence
can be removed.

There is some extra work done in folio_end_writeback, however it is
incorrect/not applicable to zswap:
- folio_end_writeback incorrectly increments NR_WRITTEN counter,
  eventhough the pages aren't written to disk, hence this change
  corrects this behaviour.
- folio_end_writeback calls folio_rotate_reclaimable, but that only
  makes sense for async writeback pages, while for zswap pages are
  synchronously reclaimed.
