Remove ceph_writepage as it's not strictly required these days.

To quote from commit 21b4ee7029c9 (xfs: drop ->writepage completely):

     ->writepage is only used in one place - single page writeback from
     memory reclaim. We only allow such writeback from kswapd, not from
     direct memory reclaim, and so it is rarely used. When it comes from
     kswapd, it is effectively random dirty page shoot-down, which is
     horrible for IO patterns. We will already have background writeback
     trying to clean all the dirty pages in memory as efficiently as
     possible, so having kswapd interrupt our well formed IO stream only
     slows things down. So get rid of xfs_vm_writepage() completely.

Sounds reasonable.

Will merge it into the testing branch.

Thanks Jeff!
